Vintage Faux Pearl Clover Hoop Screw-Back Earrings

This is a pair of vintage costume jewelry screw-back earrings, likely dating from the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s to 1960s. The earrings are constructed from a gold-toned base metal and feature a decorative drop design. Each earring includes a central faux pearl bead at the screw mechanism, from which hangs a gold-toned hoop containing a three-leaf clover or shamrock motif. The clovers are accented with three smaller faux pearls. The screw-back mechanism suggests they were manufactured during an era before pierced ears became the primary standard for jewelry. Regarding condition, there is significant visible tarnish and metal discoloration, particularly on the screw mechanisms and the backings, indicating wear and potential breakdown of the gold plating. The faux pearls show a creamy luster, but one of the clover charms appears detached from its hoop, indicating a structural failure in the jump ring or solder point. The hoops themselves feature a twisted or faceted texture to catch the light. No visible maker's marks are discernible in the image, implying these may be unsigned costume pieces of modest original value. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume mid-century costume jewelry accessories.
