Purple Faux Pearl Drop Earrings
Unbranded · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-Present)
Material
Likely plastic or glass faux pearl with a metallic coating; silver-tone base metal wire (unlikely to be sterling silver based on the coil and loop construction).
Condition
Good. The photo is blurry, but the luster appears intact. No major peeling of the faux finish is visible, though the metal wires may have slight oxidation.
Demand Level
Low. Basic costume jewelry of this type is extremely common and saturated in the resale market.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$3.00 - $8.00
Estimated Retail Value
$5.00 - $12.00
Comparable Sales
Similar generic faux pearl earrings frequently sell in bulk lots (10-20 pairs) for $15-$25 total, or individually in 'Free with Purchase' bundles on Poshmark.
Description
A pair of simple drop earrings featuring round, purple faux pearls. These lightweight earrings are suspended on silver-tone fishhook wires with a decorative metal bead and coil. Perfect for adding a pop of color to a casual outfit.
Key Features
Attractive plum/purple colorway; classic drop style; lightweight and easy to wear; simple aesthetic that appeals to a wide age range.
Authenticity Indicators
These are mass-produced costume jewelry items. No hallmarks or maker's marks are visible. Low confidence in high-value identification; likely a generic boutique or big-box retailer item.
Flaws to Note
Faux pearls are prone to scratching and peeling over time. Base metal hooks may cause irritation for those with sensitive skin. The photo quality makes it difficult to detect small surface chips.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a 'jewelry jar' or 'wholesale lot' on eBay/Mercari, or at a local flea market or garage sale for a nominal price.
Selling Tips
Do not list these individually as shipping costs will exceed the item's value. Bundle them with other purple accessories or similarly styled costume jewelry. Use keywords like 'Plum', 'Costume Jewelry', and 'Drop Earrings'. Clean hooks with alcohol before selling.
