"These 1980s unsigned clip-on earrings feature a sculptural nautilus shell motif. Each earring is crafted with dimensional, ridged coils and anchored by a central faux pearl cabochon, with smaller faux pearl accents along the outer edges, offering a bold, architectural aesthetic. These earrings measure approximately 1.16 inches. Condition is very good vintage; the gold-tone finish exhibits light age-related patina and minor surface oxidation on the interior of the clip mechanisms. The faux pearls are intact with no noted peeling or cracking. Clip mechanisms are functional. Please review all photos, measurements, and condition details carefully. All sales are final; no returns or exchanges."
