Vintage Gold-Tone Textured Sunburst Clip-On Earrings

A pair of vintage clip-on earrings featuring a dynamic sunburst or floral motif. Constructed from gold-toned base metal, each earring measures approximately 1 inch in diameter. The central design consists of a raised, domed hemispherical button with a heavy granulated or 'nugget' texture, creating a matte-like finish that contrasts with the surrounding elements. Encircling the center are ten curved, polished rays arranged in a pinwheel fashion to suggest movement. These rays feature longitudinal grooving and tapered ends. Each earring is consistent in size and coloring, suggesting late mid-century production, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. The metal displays a bright yellow-gold finish with no significant tarnish visible, though there is minor surface wear and light scratching consistent with age. The construction appears sturdy, with the central domes securely set within the radiating frames. The scale and 'shield' style look are characteristic of costume jewelry makers of the era such as Monet, Trifari, or Napier, although no visible signature is discernible from the front view.
