Vintage Gold Tone Faux Pearl Drop Earrings

Description
A round faux pearl sits low in each teardrop frame, held in a beaded crown setting like a small moon caught in a halo of gold. They date to the 1970s–1980s and are made in the Victorian revival style. Above the pearl, the gold tone opens into a heart-shaped window, and a soft brushed finish gives it a warm glow. The earrings hang on kidney wires and move gently as you turn your head. They are graceful for everyday wear and stack easily with small studs.
