Pair of Geometric Enamel Drop Earrings

This item consists of a pair of drop earrings, distinct in their design and condition, featuring a teardrop or pear-shaped form. One earring appears to be the reverse side or an unfinished piece, showing a tarnished, slightly rough metallic surface, possibly bronze or a brass-like alloy, with a cutout pattern of small triangles along its outer edge, creating a textured border. The other earring, presumably the front or finished piece, displays vibrant enamel work within the same teardrop shape. This finished earring features geometric patterns, primarily triangles, filled with a palette of warm and cool tones, including light orange, purple, and a prominent turquoise or teal. Small circular motifs in orange are also visible near the bottom of this enameled piece. Both earrings appear to be of similar size and construction, with a metallic base. The bails or ear wire attachments for securing them to the ear are simple, post-style findings, with one showing a blue enamel accent. There is visible wear and patina on the un-enameled earring, indicative of age or prolonged exposure, exhibiting an aged bronze or antiqued gold finish. The enameled earring shows its colors clearly, suggesting less wear on its decorated surface, though the metal base of this earring also appears to have some patina consistent with age. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The style suggests a possible vintage contemporary period, perhaps mid-to-late 20th century, with an aesthetic that could be influenced by Southwestern, Art Deco, or ethnic designs given its geometric motifs and color choices. The craftsmanship on the enameled piece appears neat, with clean lines separating the color segments, while the backend piece shows a more utilitarian finish. The discrepancy in appearance between the two pieces (finished vs. unfinished/reverse) is a unique characteristic.
