This pair of vintage drop earrings is an artisanal blend of hammered brass, soft green stone, and freshwater pearls. Each earring begins with a small, fan-shaped brass plate with a gently curved lower edge and a richly textured, forged surface. The metal shows hammered ripples and mottled dark and golden tones. At the center, a round peridot cabochon sits in a fine, polished bezel, glowing in fresh lime-to-spring green. Along the lower edge, five slender wire rods swing freely from tiny jump rings. Each rod ends in a cluster of small, rice-shaped baroque pearls in creamy white, with soft blue-gray overtones and a gentle luster. The pearls are irregular in form, which confirms their natural origin, and short brass wire tips peek out below them. The darkened, oxidized brass gives the pair an earthy, ancient feel, and the pearls shimmer like drops of water or fine rain as they move. The two earrings are closely matched in construction and tone. The result is delicate, kinetic, and distinctly handcrafted.
Light and graceful, these earrings suit daytime dressing, evening wear, or a curated vintage jewelry collection, and they look especially good with an updo or short hair that shows off the drop. They complement Boho Chic, Art Deco, Organic Modern, Eclectic, and Mid-Century Modern styling. They are post-style, not clip-on. Each earring measures 0.9 inches (23 mm) wide, 0.2 inches (5 mm) deep, and 2.4 inches (61 mm) high. Condition is good: the brass shows a darkened patina with minor scuffs and blemishes consistent with age, the stones and pearls appear secure, and the earrings are in great as-found condition. For care, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing, avoid water, perfume, and chemical cleaners, which can dull pearls, and store in a soft pouch. Inquire today to add this charming pair to your collection.
