Double Band Earring Appraisal

Two-Tone Double Band Hoop Earring

This item is a single hoop earring featuring a distinctive double-band design. The piece is constructed with two parallel, semi-circular bands that are joined at a single post closure. The construction exhibits a two-tone aesthetic, with one band appearing to be a polished yellow gold-tone metal and the second band sporting a cool-toned silver or white gold-tone finish. Each band is relatively thick with a rounded, tubular profile, suggesting a modern or contemporary style. The earring utilizes a straight post for pierced ears; however, the corresponding butterfly back or clutch is missing in the image. In terms of condition, the metal surfaces show significant signs of wear, including minor scuffing, surface scratches, and a dulling of the original luster, which may indicate a plated base metal rather than solid gold. There are visible dark spots near the post-attachment point, which could be oxidation or tarnish. The earring measures approximately 15-20mm in diameter, making it a small to medium-sized accessory. No visible maker’s marks or hallmarks are identifiable from this angle. The craftsmanship appears mass-produced, typical of mid-range fashion jewelry from the late 20th to early 21st century.
