Vintage Carved Horse Head Stud Earrings

A pair of vintage clip-on earrings featuring carved dark green stones set within a gold-toned metal frame. The stones, which appear to be jade or perhaps a similar deep green hardstone, are intricately carved to represent the heads of horses. The carvings are detailed, showing the mane, ears, and facial features of the horses. Each carved stone is set within a circular metal surround that is heavily textured with a twisted rope or coil design, giving it a vintage look. The metal has a bright, reflective gold tone. The backings visible indicate a clip-on style, common for earrings from earlier eras. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the image. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious chips or damage to the stones, and the metalwork seems intact. The texture and detail of the rope-like metalwork indicate a degree of craftsmanship. Based on the style and clip-on backing, they likely date from the mid to late 20th century. The overall impression is one of classic, perhaps Asian-inspired, vintage jewelry.
