Infinity Loop Earrings Appraisal

Gold-Tone Dangle Drop Earrings with Infinity Loop Design

A pair of gold-toned dangle earrings, likely fashion jewelry or plated, given the lack of specific hallmarks and the visible wear. Each earring features a top rectangular bar component from which a figure-eight or infinity-loop design dangles, allowing for movement. The total length appears to be approximately 2 to 2.5 inches. The material is a bright, polished yellow gold color, suggesting gold plating or a gold-tone base metal. The construction is solid, not hollow, giving the earrings some perceptible weight. A notable feature is the textural detail: both the top bar and the perimeter of the figure-eight loop are decorated with a finely braided or rope-like pattern, adding visual interest and depth to the shiny surface. The inner parts of the figure-eight are smooth and polished. The earrings are equipped with standard post-and-butterfly backings for pierced ears. Visible condition issues include some minor surface scratches consistent with normal wear, and potentially some slight fading or discoloration of the gold tone in high-rub areas, though this is not overtly apparent from the image. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible. The style appears to be contemporary and could date from the late 20th century to early 21st century, fitting a classic and versatile aesthetic. The craftsmanship seems competent, with clean lines and even application of the decorative texture.
