Vintage Gold-Tone Domed Omega Back Earrings

This pair of earrings features a classic, minimalist aesthetic typical of mid-to-late 20th-century jewelry design. Each earring is crafted with a high-polished, yellow gold-tone finish and shaped into a sleek, elongated domed or 'shrimp' silhouette. The profile is smooth and aerodynamic, lacking any surface engravings or gemstone embellishments to emphasize the luster of the metal. For security and comfort, the earrings utilize an omega-back closure system, which combines a traditional post with a hinged mechanical clip to hold the earring flush against the earlobe. The construction appears to be cast metal, likely a base metal alloy plated in gold, given the consistent surface sheen. In terms of condition, the pieces show evidence of light wear consistent with age, including very fine surface scratches and minor dulling of the polish in recessed areas. No significant pitting, oxidation, or loss of plating is immediately visible. While no maker's marks are visible in the current orientation, the robust hinge mechanism suggests a mid-range quality for the period, likely produced in the 1980s or 1990s when this bold, rounded style was highly fashionable.
