If you love that warm, classic glow only vintage pieces carry, this sweet little ring will steal your heart the moment it catches the light. It’s a mid-century “kissing pearls” cluster ring in bright gold-tone with a graceful leaf flourish and two twinkling clear rhinestones for a touch of sparkle. The pearls sit side-by-side like old friends—softly luminous, creamy, and wonderfully nostalgic—exactly the look we all remember from treasured jewelry boxes and family photographs.
Design & feel:
The two imitation pearls (about 6–6.5 mm each) are nestled in low dome cups that keep the profile elegant and wearable. A curved leaf and little bead accents cradle the pair, while two petite rhinestones are prong-set at the shoulders to add that mid-century “wink.” It’s feminine without being fussy, the kind of ring that plays nicely with a wedding band, stacks with skinny gold bangles, or dresses up a white tee and jeans with a whisper of retro charm. The shank is smooth and comfortable, and the ring balances well on the finger (see the photos on the hand and the side view).
Dating & materials (best-effort):
Everything about the construction and style points to 1950s–1960s costume jewelry: the gold-tone plated base metal, the cup-mounted imitation pearls, and the bright, prong-set glass rhinestones. You’ll see honest surface wear expected for its age—light rub on the high points of the shank and leaf, a few tiny pepper specks and gentle scuffs on the pearl surfaces, and normal micro-scratches from careful wear. The stones are still lively and clear. I always prefer to keep vintage patina intact so the next owner gets all that character.
Size & fit:
On my mandrel the ring reads about US 6½ to 6¾ (please allow a quarter size either way depending on your sizer). The top measures roughly like a petite two-pearl cluster, so it won’t snag on knitwear and it slides comfortably under gloves. If you need a specific millimeter measurement, I’m happy to add one—just ask.
Why collectors like these:
Mid-century costume jewelry was exceptionally well designed. Makers emphasized graceful lines, flattering proportions, and stones that dance in everyday light. Twin-pearl “kissing” motifs were popular gifts—sisters, bridesmaids, anniversaries—so they carry a sweet sentiment of togetherness. Pieces like this are getting harder to find in wearable condition; many were loved to pieces. This one has held up nicely and still has decades of life left.
Condition notes (please read):
This is pre-owned vintage with signs of age and gentle use. Expect:
-
Light plating rub on the back of the shank and tips of the leaf
-
Minor scuffs and a few tiny age specks on the pearls (they still glow beautifully)
-
Normal micro-scratches consistent with careful wear
Please see every photo—taken in natural/neutral light—to judge for yourself. I don’t retouch out flaws; what you see is what you’ll receive.
Honest materials disclosure:
Because I don’t see a clear hallmark in the photos and because the wear pattern looks like plated brass/base metal, I’m listing this as gold-tone costume jewelry with imitation pearls and glass rhinestones. If you prefer, I can perform a magnet check or share fresh close-ups of any area you like. If your own testing shows something different (e.g., a karat mark hiding under the shoulder), I’m happy to celebrate with you!
How it wears:
Lightweight, cheerful, and easy—this is the ring you reach for when you want a little sparkle without shouting. It pairs sweetly with a plain gold band, and the creamy pearls flatter every skin tone. I especially love it with a cardigan, a silk blouse, or a vintage sundress; it photographs beautifully for special occasions.
Gift-ready & care tips:
I ship promptly and pack with old-fashioned care. For plated vintage jewelry, store in a soft pouch, keep away from hairspray/perfume, and wipe gently with a dry cloth after wearing. Avoid dips/ultrasonic cleaners (they’re tough on vintage finishes). Treated kindly, this ring will stay a favorite for years to come.
