Artisanal Brass Leaf and Ceramic Bead Drop Earring

This is a single drop-style earring featuring a mixed-media construction of metal and ceramic components. The focal point is a slender, elongated leaf-shaped pendant crafted from a yellow-tone metal, likely brass or gold-plated base metal, with a pronounced central vein and a subtle matte, textured finish. Above the leaf sits a spherical, pale seafoam green or off-white ceramic bead that shows minor surface pitting and irregularities consistent with handmade artisanal work. The earring is suspended from a simple wire fishhook (shepherd's hook) ear wire. The overall aesthetic suggests a contemporary bohemian or nature-inspired style, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. Condition-wise, the metal shows a significant aged patina with dark oxidation spots and localized tarnishing, particularly on the ear wire and the jump ring connector. No maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the provided image. The construction quality is modest, suggesting a mass-produced boutique item or an individual craft piece rather than fine jewelry. The leaf measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length.
