Nautical Theme Button Stud Earrings

This item consists of a pair of vintage-style stud earrings, designed with a nautical theme, presented on a green cutting mat next to a digital scale displaying "3.9", which likely indicates weight in grams. Each earring is composed of five small circular elements clustered together to form a larger, flower-like or abstract shape. The individual circular elements appear to be small buttons or button-like discs. The main earring, facing upwards, features four outer discs with a recessed design filled with enamel or a similar material, and a central disc. Two of the outer discs are dark blue with what appears to be a gold-toned anchor and a crescent moon and star design. One is white with a detailed ship or boat outline. The remaining visible outer disc is red with a delicate star or compass rose design. The central disc is also white with a gold-toned celestial or nautical motif. The entire surface of these discs is encased in a gold-toned metal bezel, giving them a polished and somewhat ornate appearance. The second earring is flipped over, revealing its back construction. It clearly shows a post-style earring backing, indicating they are designed to be worn through pierced ears. The back of the visible post earring also consists of multiple small circular backings, suggesting each button-like element on the front might have its own backing, or they are securely fused together. The metal appears to be a base metal with a gold-tone finish, showing some minor wear consistent with use and age, but generally in good condition. The craftsmanship appears to be respectable for costume jewelry, with clear detailing on the enameled designs. Given the nautical themes and clustered design, these earrings likely date from the mid to late 20th century, possibly as a fashion accessory. The 3.9 reading on the scale suggests these are relatively lightweight.
