Silver Koala and Garnet-toned Strawberry Drop Earrings

This pair of earrings features a whimsical design, each comprising two distinct elements: an animal figure at the top and a drop-shaped element suspended below. The upper portion of each earring depicts a small, sculpted koala bear, rendered in a shiny, possibly sterling silver or silver-toned metal. The koala figures are detailed with features such as ears, eyes, and a nose, giving them a recognizable form. One koala appears to be slightly tilted, suggesting a dynamic pose. Below each koala, a deep red, translucent drop is suspended, resembling a strawberry or perhaps a heart shape. These drops are faceted, allowing light to catch and reflect off their surfaces, and are likely made of glass, resin, or a gemstone like garnet, although specific material identification beyond 'garnet-toned' is difficult from the image. The attachment between the koala and the drop appears to be a small bail or loop, indicating a dangle style. The overall condition shows some minor surface wear consistent with use, including possible tarnishing on the metal components, which could indicate age or material composition. The style is charming and somewhat playful, suggesting a casual accessory. Without maker's marks or clearer material indicators, precise age dating is challenging, but they appear to be contemporary or vintage from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, with clear sculptural details for the koala and well-formed drops.
