Cream Enamel Earrings Appraisal

Cream Enamel and Gold-Tone Wide Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of wide, C-shaped hoop earrings, each featuring a polished gold-tone metal interior and a creamy, off-white enameled exterior. The enamel appears to be applied smoothly and evenly, creating a clean, contrasting border with the visible gold-tone edge on both the inner and outer curves of the hoop. The thickness of the hoop suggests a substantial presence when worn. Each earring is equipped with a straight post-style backing, indicative of pierced earrings, which is visible extending from the top, inner curve of the hoop. The metal part of the post appears to be a silver-toned surgical steel or similar, common for hypo-allergenic qualities, contrasting slightly with the gold-tone of the main body, though this is typical for post construction. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The condition appears to be good with minimal signs of wear; the enamel shows no obvious chips or cracks, and the metal retains its luster. The general aesthetic points to a more contemporary style, likely from the late 20th century or early 21st century, possibly from the 1980s or 1990s, given the prominence of bold, chunky jewelry during those decades. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for fashion jewelry, with well-defined edges and a consistent finish on the enamel.
