Vintage Red Enamel Clip-On Earrings by KIM

This item is a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, each featuring a prominent circular cabochon-style face finished in a vibrant, glossy red enamel or resin. The overall design suggests a minimalist, button-like aesthetic. The earrings appear to have a golden-toned metal trim encircling the red front, providing a subtle contrast and a touch of elegance. The backs of the earrings are equipped with clip-on mechanisms, characteristic of jewelry designed for unpierced ears or for a specific style popular in the mid-to-late 20th century. While the exact material of the red component is not definitively discernible from the image, its smooth, polished appearance is consistent with enamel, lucite, or a similar durable polymer. The metal components, including the clips and the golden trim, appear to be a base metal with a gold-tone plating, typically found in costume jewelry. The earrings are presented in a small, clear plastic bag with visible text indicating 'KIM' which is likely the manufacturer or brand name, and a price of '$3.00'. This suggests they were retailed as an affordable costume jewelry item. The total weight of the pair, including the packaging, is indicated as 9 grams on a digital scale. The condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant tarnishing visible on the main surfaces, though minor wear consistent with light use or storage may be present upon closer inspection. The clips mechanisms appear intact and functional. The style points towards a mid-century or later vintage, likely from the 1960s to 1980s, given the materials and design simplicity. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced costume jewelry of that era.
