Vintage Faux Pearl and Gold-Tone Beaded Cluster Ring

This is a vintage cluster ring featuring a dome-shaped arrangement of faux pearls and high-polish gold-tone beads. The piece is constructed with varying sizes of spherical components, including creamy white simulated pearls and metallic-finished gold beads, meticulously hand-wired or soldered onto a central base to create a textured, three-dimensional pom-pom or 'snowball' effect. The design is indicative of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s, a period when oversized cocktail rings were highly fashionable. Physically, the item appears to be made of base metal with a gold-plated finish and plastic or glass core faux pearls. In terms of condition, there is visible surface wear consistent with age; specifically, some of the metallic gold beads show minor scuffs, and a few of the faux pearls exhibit slight loss of nacre/luster. The underlying structure appears intact, although the band is not visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but high-quality decorative accessory of its era, lacking an immediate visible maker's mark in this orientation. The overall aesthetic is one of classic mid-century glamour, characterized by its symmetrical yet complex texture and warm color palette.
