Vintage Jet or Onyx Teardrop Dangle Earrings

This pair of vintage dangle earrings features a classic teardrop or pear-shaped aesthetic. Each earring is composed of a smooth, polished black gemstone or glass bead—likely jet, onyx, or French jet—set into an ornate yellow-metal decorative cap. The caps exhibit a detailed openwork or filigree gallery design, suggesting a production style consistent with the mid-20th century, possibly influenced by Victorian revival trends. The earrings are suspended from 'shepherd's hook' or French wire backs made of an imitation gold or gold-plated metal. These wires feature a small decorative ball at the base where they connect to the dangle. The construction relies on a central pin that secures the stone to the cap and wire assembly. Overall, the items appear to be in good vintage condition with minor surface scratches on the black stones and some slight patina or wear to the gold-toned finish of the metal components. No visible hallmark or maker's mark is discernible from the image, but the craftsmanship indicates mass-produced costume jewelry of a higher quality tier from the late 1940s to 1960s. The size appears to be approximately 1 inch in total length, though they are pictured through a plastic bag which slightly obscures small detail.
