Vintage Gold Tone Pearl Dangle Clip-On Earrings

This is a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, each featuring two spherical imitation pearls suspended from a gold-tone metallic setting. The design consists of a smaller pearl directly affixed to the clip-on mechanism, from which a short length of delicate chain extends, culminating in a larger, single pearl at the bottom. The clip-on backing is visible on both earrings, indicating they are designed for un-pierced ears. The metal appears to be a polished gold-tone, likely a plated base metal given the commonality of such materials in vintage costume jewelry. The pearls exhibit a soft, ivory or cream color with a subtle luster, consistent with costume or cultured pearls rather than natural occurring pearls. They are spherical in shape and appear to be relatively uniform in size for each respective position (small and large). The craftsmanship appears to be standard for vintage costume jewelry, with no obvious signs of intricate hand-finishing but rather mass-produced components. Visible condition issues include minor surface wear appropriate for their assumed age, such as slight tarnishing or scratching on the metal components, and potential minor dulling on the pearls. The overall weight of the pair, as indicated by the scale in the accompanying image, is 3 grams, suggesting lightweight construction. These earrings likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, a period when dangle pearl earrings and clip-on styles were very popular. No maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided images. The chain links are delicate and uniform.
