Faceted Green Bead Drop Earring

This is a single drop-style earring featuring a prominent, elongated marquise-shaped green bead. The bead is opaque with a mint or seafoam green hue and features a faceted geometric surface designed to catch and reflect light. It is suspended on a metallic headpin that terminates in a small gold-tone bead at the bottom. The headpin connects to a standard fishhook (French hook) ear wire made of a brass-toned or gold-plated base metal. The metal components show moderate signs of age and patina, specifically darkening and some surface dullness on the ear wire and coil. The bead itself appears well-preserved with sharp facet edges and no visible chips or significant abrasions. Based on the construction and materials, this appears to be a piece of contemporary fashion or costume jewelry, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The assembly indicates a handmade or artisanal assembly method rather than high-end fine jewelry, as evidenced by simple loop-and-hook connections and the lack of hallmarks or precious metal stamps. The piece lacks a matching pair in the image, which impacts its functional utility and market value.
