Vintage Filigree Flower and Faux Pearl Drop Earring

This is a vintage circular costume jewelry earring featuring a multi-layered floral design. The base is constructed from an antiqued, bronze-tone filigree metal with scalloped petal edges. The secondary layer contains a set of small, cream-colored faux pearls arranged in a halo around a central medallion. The centerpiece is a domed, open-work filigree disk with a wheel-like geometric pattern. Suspended from the bottom of the main body is a singular teardrop-shaped faux pearl, capped with matching decorative metalwork. The item measures approximately 1.5 inches in total length. Based on the style of the filigree and the yellowing of the faux pearls, the piece likely dates to the mid-20th century (c. 1950s-1960s). The metal shows significant signs of age with a dark patina and some accumulated dust/residue in the recessed areas. The faux pearls exhibit some loss of luster and potential surface wear consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks on the front; the clasp mechanism on the reverse is not visible in this image to determine if it is a clip-on or screw-back, common for this era.
