Vintage Green Enamel Post Earrings

This item is a pair of vintage-style stud or post earrings, currently housed within a small, transparent plastic storage bag. Each earring features a circular, cabochon-style face finished with a deep forest green enamel. The enamel appears to have a slightly translucent quality, suggesting it may be a cold enamel or guilloché-mimic technique. The face of the earrings is approximately 8-10mm in diameter, encased in a thin metallic silver-toned bezel. The metal displays a matte, slightly tarnished patina consistent with sterling silver or a silver-plated base metal that has aged over time. The construction utilizes a friction post back, common in mid-to-late 20th-century jewelry. While no hallmark is clearly visible through the packaging, the modest design and use of enamel point to a production period likely between the 1970s and 1990s. The condition is generally good, though the metal components show light surface oxidation and the baggie shows significant wear/crumpling. There are no immediate signs of enamel chipping or deep scratching on the decorative faces, indicating the pieces have been kept relatively safely. The craftsmanship is clean and mass-manufactured rather than artisanal, suggesting a mid-market costume jewelry provenance.
