Oval Faux Pearl Gold-Tone Clip-On Earrings

This is a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, featuring an oval design. Each earring consists of a prominent, centrally set oval-shaped faux pearl or glass pearl, exhibiting a lustrous, iridescent white to cream hue with noticeable reflections, suggesting a smooth surface and good nacre quality if it were a natural pearl. The faux pearl is set within a substantial, polished gold-tone metal bezel. The metal surrounding the pearl has a clean, smooth finish, creating a classic and elegant frame. The outer edge of the gold-tone setting appears to have a slightly raised rim, adding depth to the design. The overall oval shape of the earrings is well-proportioned. In terms of condition, there are visible signs of wear consistent with age and use. The gold-tone metal shows some minor surface scratches and slight discoloration or darkening in areas, particularly along the edges and within the recessed areas of the bezel, indicating possible tarnishing or wear to the plating. There are no obvious dents or significant damage to the metal or pearls. The pearls themselves appear to be in good condition with no visible chips or flaking of the coating. Given the style, use of faux pearls, and apparent metal type, these earrings likely date from the mid to late 20th century, possibly 1960s to 1980s, characteristic of costume jewelry of that era. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for vintage costume jewelry, with a focus on an attractive aesthetic rather than precious materials.
