14 Karat Gold Textured Dangle Earrings

A pair of yellow gold dangle earrings, likely of 14 karat gold as indicated by the inscription in the jewelry box. Each earring consists of two interconnected oval shapes: a smaller, elongated oval at the top, from which a larger, more prominent oval or hoop dangles. Both the smaller and larger sections of the earrings exhibit a textured or hammered surface finish, giving them a rich, tactile appearance that catches the light in varied ways. The specific pattern resembles a stippled or 'pebbled' texture. The color is a consistent yellow gold, suggesting a solid gold construction rather than plating, reinforced by the '14 Karat Gold' marking. The earrings appear to be in excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs, maintaining their original luster. They are presented in an open, dark blue or black jewelry box with gold trim, featuring a dark green velvet interior section designed to hold the earrings securely. The lid of the box, visible in the background, is lined with a cream-colored material and bears the inscription '14 Karat Gold' along with a stylized 'SC' logo, which likely represents the manufacturer or jewelry brand. The style appears consistent with mid to late 20th-century craftsmanship, perhaps 1970s or 1980s, given the bold, textured gold aesthetic. The quality indicates fine jewelry craftsmanship.
