Pearl Stud Earrings Appraisal

Faux Pearl Stud Earrings

This item consists of a pair of faux pearl stud earrings. Each earring features a spherical, synthetic pearl, approximately 8-10mm in diameter, exhibiting a creamy, iridescent 'pearl white' color with subtle pink and blue overtones, characteristic of imitation pearls. The surface of the pearls appears relatively smooth with a good luster, though direct light might reveal minor surface imperfections or manufacturing marks not visible in the current image. The pearls are centrally mounted on silver-toned metal posts, which appear to be standard stud earring findings. Each post is secured by a clear, disc-shaped plastic or silicone earring back, commonly used to provide comfortable support and prevent the earring from drooping. Below the plastic back, a small, disc-shaped metal finding is visible, likely serving as a base for the pearl's attachment to the post. The overall construction appears simple and common for costume jewelry. There are no readily visible maker's marks or distinguishing engravings. Given their appearance and construction, these earrings likely date from the mid-to-late 20th century or more recently, aligning with popular styles of elegant, classic costume jewelry. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of damage, chipping, or significant wear to the pearl's nacre-like coating or the metal components, suggesting they have been well-preserved.
