I think they are older. They are just gold tone but the pearls do seem to be real. They are rough when rubbed together and have natural flaws. The backs don't seem to be original as they have slight differences. The gold tone on the earrings is bright and shiny. Please see all photos. Color and metal tones may vary slightly based on lighting, phone screen or computer screen adjustments. Photos are taken in white light with no filters. Please see all photos and feel free to ask questions or ask for additional photos.
