Single Pearl Drop Earring

This item is a single earring, featuring a classic pearl drop design. The earring consists of a luminous, spherical pearl attached to a curved, elongated metallic element. The pearl appears to be a cultured pearl, exhibiting a creamy white to very light yellow hue with a soft, iridescent luster. Its surface seems smooth, with no immediately visible blemishes or significant irregularities, suggesting good quality. The pearl is securely mounted in a cap setting, which is then affixed to the golden-colored metal bar. The metallic component is a polished, solid golden tone, possibly gold or gold-plated base metal, with a gently arcing form. Close examination reveals what appears to be a small etching or marking on the curved metal bar, though the specific details are not discernible from the provided image due to resolution and angle. This could be a maker's mark or a metal purity stamp, which would be crucial for determining its value. The earring is designed for pierced ears, featuring a standard post and butterfly back (friction back) clasp mechanism. The butterfly back is also golden in color and appears to be in good working order. The overall condition of the earring seems good, with no obvious signs of heavy wear, scratches, or damage to either the pearl or the metal. The style is timeless and elegant, suggesting it could be from a variety of periods, though similar designs were popular from the mid-20th century onwards. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced or semi-custom jewelry.
