Pearl Accent Earrings Appraisal

Vintage Pearl and Accent Stone Clip Earrings

A pair of vintage clip-on earrings, each featuring two pearls set into a gold-toned metal base with small accent stones. The design of each earring is asymmetrical, with one smaller, round pearl positioned above a larger, oval-shaped pearl. The pearls appear to be cultured pearls, exhibiting a creamy white luster with visible iridescence. Each earring measures approximately 1.5 cm in length and 1 cm in width, though precise measurements are difficult to ascertain from the image. The gold-toned setting wraps around the pearls in an elegant, flowing manner, with small, clear, possibly diamond or white sapphire accent stones embedded into the metal detailing between the two pearls on each earring, adding a touch of sparkle. The metal shows a warm, yellow hue characteristic of gold or gold plating. The earrings are presented in a royal blue velvet-lined jewelry box, which appears to be padded with white satin or velvet on the inside lid. No specific maker's marks or stamps are visible in the provided images. The condition of the pearls appears good with no obvious nacre loss or significant blemishes, and the metal shows no visible tarnish or heavy wear. The clip-on mechanism, characteristic of earrings designed for non-pierced ears, is not fully visible but is implied by the additional context. Given the design and clip-on style, the earrings likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with well-set stones and pearls, suggesting a commercially produced piece of costume or fine jewelry.
