Vintage Faux Pearl and Gold-Tone Cube Clip-On Earrings

This item consists of a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, notable for their three-dimensional, cubic design. Each earring is crafted with a gold-tone metal base, which forms a structured cube or rectangular prism. The front-facing and visible sides of the earrings are heavily embellished with numerous faux pearls of varying sizes. The larger, central faux pearls appear to be ovular or slightly flattened spherical shapes, while smaller, rounder pearls fill the gaps and surround the central elements. Some of the larger pearls feature a small, yellow-gold bead or possibly a rhinestone set into their center, adding a subtle sparkle and focal point. The metal settings around these pearls are also gold-toned, complementing the overall warm aesthetic. The back of the earrings reveals the gold-toned metal structure more clearly, appearing as rows of small, square or rectangular segments, giving a textured or faceted look. The clip-on mechanism is visible on one of the earrings, constructed from a silver-toned metal with a typically hinged design for securing to the earlobe. There is some visible wear on the metal components, particularly on the gold-tone finish, which appears somewhat dulled in areas, and the silver-tone clip mechanism, which shows some minor tarnishing or surface scratches consistent with age and use. The faux pearls generally appear to be in good condition, retaining their luster. The design suggests a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly from the 1950s or 1960s, a period known for its bold and ornate costume jewelry. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced costume jewelry, focusing on visual impact rather than precious materials.
