Gold-toned and black resin figural clip earrings

This pair of clip-on earrings features an oval design with a gold-toned metal setting and black opaque central inserts. Each earring displays a raised, molded gold-colored figural motif depicting a seated Buddha or devotional figure in a meditative pose. The metal bezels show a polished finish with prong-like prongs securing the central cabochons, though no visible maker's marks, hallmarks, or stamps are discernible from the photograph. The items exhibit minor signs of age-related surface wear consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry, though their precise age remains unverified. The attribution rests entirely on visual observation of the oval clip-on form and the applied figural motifs. Regarding the owner-supplied context, the user notes suggest these were acquired during a trip to Burma and/or Thailand by their father in the 1950s or 1960s; however, this geographical and chronological origin is unverified and cannot be confirmed from the visual evidence alone.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this pair of clip-on earrings features a gold-toned metal setting, black opaque central inserts, and raised molded figural motifs depicting a seated meditative figure. I cannot verify from a photo the exact metal composition, the nature of the black resin or stone inserts, or the precise manufacturing date. The owner's notes suggest these were acquired during a trip to Burma and/nd or Thailand by their father in the 1950s or 1960s; however, this geographical and chronological origin remains unverified user-supplied context. My appraisal value estimate of $75 to $150 assumes that the owner's hypothesis regarding its mid-century travel souvenir or costume jewelry origin is correct. Mid-century tourist and Asian-inspired costume jewelry generally sees modest demand in the current secondary market, with value heavily dependent on visual appeal, intact hardware, and overall condition. If physical inspection reveals the pieces to be modern reproductions, mass-market replicas, or generic 'in the style of' items lacking the suggested mid-century provenance, the market value would likely decrease to the $25-$50 range. To more fully understand the potential value, I would need physical inspection to confirm the materials and construction, hallmark verification if any exist, and potentially consultation with a costume jewelry specialist to assess the historical context.
