Vintage Faux Pearl Drop Screw-Back Earrings

This is a pair of vintage screw-back earrings, each featuring a large, iridescent faux pearl drop suspended from an ornate top. The overall color scheme is warm, with a golden-hued metal setting complementing the creamy, peach-toned pearls. Each earring measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length. The top portion of each earring consists of a clustered, cage-like design crafted from fine wire, possibly gold-toned base metal, incorporating a smaller, round faux pearl or bead. This intricate wirework has a somewhat organic, tangled appearance, adding significant texture and visual interest. The larger faux pearl drops are irregularly shaped, resembling baroque pearls, and exhibit a subtle luster with visible surface variations and possibly some minor scuffs consistent with age and wear. These drops are attached via a small jump ring to the lower part of the wirework. The screw-back mechanism, characteristic of earrings from earlier eras before widespread use of pierced ears, is clearly visible. The metal shows signs of minor tarnishing and age, consistent with vintage costume jewelry, but appears to be in good functional condition. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The style suggests an estimated age from the mid-20th century, possibly 1940s to 1960s, a period when elaborate costume jewelry was highly popular. The craftsmanship, while not high-end fine jewelry, demonstrates attention to detail in the wire wrapping and assembly.
