Vintage Green Drop Earrings

The item consists of a pair of vintage-style drop earrings, each featuring a vibrant, opaque green tear-drop or olive-shaped fob suspended from a smaller, round green bead. The main body of each earring is smoothly polished and appears to be made of a rigid material, possibly a form of plastic, Bakelite, or a synthetic resin, given its uniform color and lack of natural inclusions typically found in gemstones. The color is a consistent, bright emerald green, suggesting a dyed or manufactured material rather than a natural stone like jade, which often exhibits variations in translucency and veining. The fobs are securely attached to the smaller round beads, which in turn are connected to what appears to be a metal finding at the top, likely for a hook or clip-on mechanism, though the exact attachment type is not clearly visible. The metal findings appear to be a yellow-toned metal, possibly gold-plated or brass, showing a slight darkening or patina consistent with age or wear. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as chips, cracks, or deep scratches on the green elements, suggesting they are in good overall vintage condition. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, common for costume jewelry of the mid-20th century. No maker's marks or distinguishing signatures are visible in the provided image. These earrings likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, based on their design aesthetic and material appearance.
