Pineapple Motif Gemstone Drop Earrings

This is a pair of novelty drop earrings fashioned in the likeness of pineapples. Each earring consists of two articulated sections joined by a small metal loop, allowing for movement during wear. The 'crown' or leafy top of the pineapple features five marquise-cut green gemstones, likely emeralds or green glass, set in a radiating fan pattern using small metal prongs. The body of the pineapple is a rectangular-ovoid shape densely pavé-set with approximately 15 small, round brilliant-cut yellow gemstones, potentially yellow sapphires, citrines, or cubic zirconia. The metal appears to be a polished yellow gold or gold-toned base metal. The construction shows a cluster-setting technique typical of contemporary fashion jewelry or mid-range fine jewelry. The overall condition appears excellent with all stones intact and faceted surfaces showing high luster and minimal surface scratching. While no hallmarks are visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship suggests a late 20th to early 21st-century production. The play of light across the facets indicates the stones are transparent and well-cut, though the exact mineral composition would require thermal or refractive testing. These whimsical pieces combine a classic tropical motif with elegant gemstone setting styles.
