Gold Dangle Earrings with Cultured Pearl Terminals

This is a pair of vintage yellow gold dangle earrings, featuring a tiered, linear construction. Each earring begins with a standard post and butterfly nut closure (visible on both pieces). The design features a delicate, textured gold chain that descends into an open, teardrop-shaped loop. From the bottom of this loop, a straight, twisted-wire bar drops further, terminating in a single white round pearl of approximately 4-5mm in diameter. The pearls exhibit a soft, creamy luster and appear to be cultured. The metal has an adjustable warm gold tone, likely 10k or 14k gold given the style and hardware. The construction is delicate, utilizing very fine wires and jump rings. There are no clearly visible maker's marks or hallmarks in this view, though they would likely be found on the posts or butterfly backs. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is a visible bend in the drop bar of the lower earring, suggesting the metal is malleable and has experienced some mechanical stress. The style is characteristic of minimalist jewelry from the late 20th century, approximately 1980s to 1990s, focusing on movement and slender geometric silhouettes.
