Vintage Emerald Green Cabochon and Gold Tone Screw-Back Earrings

This item consists of a pair of vintage screw-back earrings, crafted in a gold-tone metal and featuring emerald green cabochon gemstones. Each earring is composed of three individual cabochons, varying slightly in size, set into individual bezels and linked together to form a small, segmented drop design. The largest cabochon is at the top, followed by a medium-sized one, and a smaller, rounder one at the very bottom, creating a subtle tapering effect. The cabochons appear to be polished and have a rich, deep green hue, characteristic of emeralds or emerald-simulating glass/plastic. The metal setting exhibits a shiny, possibly plated, gold color. The screw-back closure mechanism indicates an earlier manufacturing period, likely mid-20th century, as this type of earring back was prevalent before the widespread adoption of clip-on and pierced earring styles. Each screw-back post has a small, flat disc at its end. Visible condition issues include some general wear and potentially minor surface dulling or tarnish on the gold-tone metal, which is common for vintage costume jewelry. There are no obvious chips or cracks visible on the cabochons, although closer inspection would be needed to confirm this. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, typical of costume jewelry from its era. The overall aesthetic suggests a timeless, elegant style suitable for various occasions.
