Vintage Gold-Tone Bow and Teardrop Faux Pearl Dangle Earrings
A pair of vintage-style dangle earrings featuring a textured gold-tone metal bow stud and a suspended cream-colored faux pearl. The bow components exhibit a three-dimensional design with realistic ribbon folds and central round nodes, measuring approximately 15mm across. Attached via a small metal jump ring is a large, teardrop-shaped faux pearl drop, which shows a soft luster and warm ivory hue. The construction suggests late 20th-century costume jewelry, likely from the 1980s or early 1990s, characterized by the 'romantic' aesthetic popular in that era. The metal shows a polished finish with some minor surface patina and light scratches consistent with age. The faux pearls appear to have a coated finish over a core, which remains largely intact despite minor dulling at the tips where the metal stabilizers are located. The overall craftsmanship is mid-range, typical of boutique costume jewelry brands of the period. No visible maker's marks are present in the provided angle, but the design is reminiscent of Napier or Trifari styles. The earring backs appear to be post-style, although the fasteners are not fully visible. Condition is good overall with no major chipping to the nacre-imitation coating.
