Small Hoop Posts Appraisal

Gold-Toned Small C-Hoop Post Earrings

This pair of earrings consists of two small, gold-toned 'C' shaped hoops currently stored inside a transparent plastic zip-lock bag. The earrings feature a minimalist contemporary aesthetic, characterized by a smooth, polished metallic finish that reflects light with a yellow-gold hue. Each hoop is constructed as a flat-faced band with a consistent width, terminating in a sharp, open gap to create the 'C' silhouette. They are designed for pierced ears, featuring straight post-style backs secured with classic bullet-shaped tension clutches (ear nuts). The materials appear to be fashion jewelry grade, likely gold-plated or gold-toned base metal such as brass or stainless steel, given the uniform color and lack of high-jewelry hallmark visibility through the packaging. The earrings exhibit a modern, clean design style likely dating from the 2010s to present. Condition-wise, the items appear relatively untarnished within the bag, though some minor surface micro-scratching may be present from friction between the two pieces. There are no immediate signs of plating loss or structural deformation visible. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced boutique accessories, prioritizing sleek lines and lightweight wear.
