Vintage Gold-Tone Textured Crystal Half-Hoop Earrings

A pair of decorative half-hoop earrings featuring an ornate, textured surface design. Each earring is constructed from a gold-toned base metal, likely brass or a similar alloy, with a matte, granulated finish that gives them a heavy, substantial appearance typical of late 20th-century costume jewelry (circa 1980s-1990s). The earrings are inset with three large, circular, brilliant-cut clear crystals or glass rhinestones, each held in a raised bezel setting. The metalwork surrounding the stones features intricate scrolling and rope-like patterns, providing a high degree of visual depth. They are designed for pierced ears, featuring a post backing with a clear plastic and metal 'bullet' style clutch. The condition appears to be fair to good; there is some visible tarnishing and darkening of the gold-tone finish in the recessed areas of the texture, which may be intentional antiquing or natural oxidation from age. The crystals appear clear with no obvious chips, though minor surface scratches may be present upon closer inspection. No prominent maker's marks are visible in the photograph, but the style is reminiscent of high-end costume jewelry brands like Napier or Monet. The overall craftsmanship shows careful attention to detail in the casting and stone-setting.
