Vintage Gold-Toned Faux Pearl Clip-On Earrings

This item is a pair of vintage clip-on earrings. Each earring features a central, imitation pearl, likely made of glass or plastic, with a smooth, iridescent, off-white to light cream color. The pearls are uniformly round and set within a circular, ornate gold-toned metal bezel. The bezel exhibits a twisted rope or braided chain-like texture around its perimeter, creating a decorative frame for the pearl. The gold-toned metal appears to be a base metal alloy, possibly brass or copper, with a gold plating or finish, exhibiting a bright, somewhat reflective luster. The craftsmanship suggests mass production, common in costume jewelry from the mid to late 20th century. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, which is typical for this type of accessory. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, scratches, or damage to the pearls or the metalwork. The gold tone retains its color and sheen, indicating robust plating or careful handling over time. The style points to a potential age range from the 1960s to 1980s, popular during an era when bold, statement jewelry was favored. The specific mechanism for attachment (clip-on) further supports this estimated period. The size appears to be moderate, suitable for an accent piece without being overly large.
