Vintage Cultured Pearl and Diamond Bypass Stud Earrings

A pair of vintage-style bypass stud earrings, each featuring two spherical cultured pearls approximately 7-8mm in diameter. The pearls exhibit a creamy white body color with warm, yellowish-pink overtones and a medium luster. They are set in a white gold or platinum-colored metal frame that curves in an 'S' or bypass silhouette. This gracefully curved metal band is channel-set or pavé-set with approximately four to five small, round brilliant or single-cut diamonds on each earring, totaling approximately 0.10 to 0.15 carats for the pair. The metalwork features fine milgrain or beaded edges along the diamond settings, characteristic of Mid-Century or Retro-era jewelry (circa 1950s-1960s). The earrings are secured with traditional post and friction butterfly backs. While the pearls appear well-matched in size and hue, there is slight surface pitting visible on the lower pearl of the left earring, and the metal shows mild surface scratches and minor oxidation consistent with age and wear. No visible hallmark or maker's mark is present in the image, but the craftsmanship suggests a high-quality commercial production common to the mid-20th century. The overall construction is solid, reflecting a classic, elegant aesthetic designed to wrap slightly around the earlobe.
