Rope Twist Earrings Appraisal

Gold Rope-Twist C-Curve Earrings

This item is a pair of gold-toned earrings, appearing to be crafted from metal, likely gold or gold-plated, given the context provided. Each earring features a distinctive 'C' curve or crescent-moon shape, with one end of the 'C' appearing to connect to the other, forming a somewhat closed but still C-shaped design. The primary characteristic is the intricate rope or twisted wire detailing that outlines the edges of each curve, giving a textured and ornate appearance. The central portion of each curve is smooth and polished, contrasting with the textured edges. The color is a consistent bright yellow-gold, suggesting a good gold purity or a well-maintained plating. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the provided image, but a small, off-white paper tag is attached to one of the earrings with green string, commonly used for pricing or inventory in retail settings. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precise twisting of the metal strands. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though a slight patina might be present in the crevices of the twisted design, indicative of age or normal use. The style suggests a classic or somewhat vintage aesthetic, possibly from the mid-to-late 20th century, though without further information or markings, the exact age is challenging to pinpoint. The earrings are designed to be a pair, symmetrical in design.
