Gold-Tone Filigree Dangle Earrings

This is a pair of dangle-style earrings featuring a yellow-gold-tone finish. Each earring is composed of three distinct sections: a hooked ear wire (french hook style), a small decorative spacer link, and a suspended terminal element. The most notable feature is the spherical terminal, which showcases an intricate decorative open-work design resembling traditional filigree or latticework. This construction allows light to pass through the globe, creating a delicate aesthetic. The intermediate link consists of several small gathered beads or cylinders that provide a slight articulation when worn. The metal appears to be a base metal with gold plating or a gold-filled material, as there is no clearly visible hallmark or '14K' stamp identifiable at this magnification. Given the style, these reflect a late 20th-century aesthetic, likely produced between 1980 and 2000. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible unevenness in the wire hooks, suggesting slight bending from regular use. There are minor dark spots on the spherical beads which could indicate either tarnish on silver-based metal or wear to the gold plating exposing the base metal beneath. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced fashion jewelry, though the filigree pattern adds a sophisticated textural element.
