Vintage Gold-Tone Textured Button Clip-On Earring

This item is a single circular vintage clip-on earring featuring a high-relief 'button' or 'target' design. Structurally, it consists of a smooth, hemispherical central dome surrounded by multiple concentric rings of rope-twist or braided texture. The item is crafted from a base metal with a matte gold-tone finish. Based on the cast construction and the mechanical clip visible on the reverse, it likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, specifically the 1960s through the 1980s, reflecting a classic 'costume jewelry' style. The condition shows moderate vintage wear, with noticeable thinning of the gold plating on the central dome, revealing a darker underlying patina or base metal. The textured twisted-wire detail remains well-defined, showing quality casting. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front; however, a stamp may be present on the interior of the clip mechanism which is partially obscured. This piece represents typical mid-range vintage costume jewelry of the era, designed for everyday wear with a focus on bold, metallic textures.
