Vintage Gold-Tone Starburst Pom-Pom Clip-On Earrings

This is a pair of vintage clip-on earrings featuring a highly textured, three-dimensional 'starburst' or 'pom-pom' design. Each earring is constructed from numerous fine, looped wire filaments gathered at a central point to create a spherical, burst-like silhouette. The materials appear to be gold-toned base metal with a warm, polished finish. The earrings are designed as clip-ons, a common hardware style for mid-20th-century costume jewelry; the visible silver-toned clips on the reverse suggests a mixed-metal construction or later repair. One earring displays a small white plastic or rubber comfort pad on the clip mechanism, which is a common after-market addition to improve wearability. This specific aesthetic is highly indicative of the Mid-Century Modern era, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s, a period where botanical, atomic, and brutalist textures were popular. The craftsmanship shows intricate wire-working, with consistent looping and spacing, indicating a quality costume jewelry manufacturer. While no specific maker's mark is visible from this angle, the style is reminiscent of pieces by Trifari or Monet. The condition appears fair to good, with some minor dulling of the gold finish and slight visible patina typical for its age. All wire loops appear intact without significant deformation or breakage.
