Vintage Gold-Tone Costume Jewelry Links with Emerald-Cut Glass and Seed Pearl Accents

This item consists of two ornate, decorative links likely from a vintage bracelet or necklace ensemble. Each link features a central amber-colored, emerald-cut faceted glass paste stone, securely held within a rectangular gold-tone bezel. The central stones are further embellished with a halo of small, creamy-white faux seed pearls. These pearls exhibit some surface wear and loss of luster consistent with age. Surrounding the jeweled centerpiece is openwork filigree metalwork featuring elegant C-scroll and heart-shaped motifs, typical of mid-20th-century costume jewelry design, particularly from the 1940s to 1950s. The metal appears to be a gold-plated or gold-tone base metal, showing a significant darkened patina and oxidation in the recessed areas, which adds an aged character to the pieces. The links are joined by a smaller connector, suggesting a continuous chain construction. No manufacturer’s mark or signature is visible in this close-up view, but the craftsmanship suggests mass-produced vintage costume jewelry of moderate quality. The facets of the glass stones appear relatively crisp with minimal chipping, though the overall metal condition would be described as 'vintage worn' due to the tarnish and degradation of the pearl coating.
