Twisted Ribbon Earrings Appraisal

Gold-Toned Spiral Twisted Ribbon Drop Earrings

A pair of contemporary drop earrings featuring a distinctive spiral or 'twisted ribbon' design. The earrings are constructed from a yellow gold-toned metal, though without visible hallmarks, it is unclear if they are solid gold, gold-filled, or plated fashion jewelry. Each earring exhibits a fluid, organic helical shape that tapers toward the bottom, measuring approximately 2.5 to 3 inches in length. The finish is characterized by a high-polish sheen that catches the light along the curves, emphasizing the three-dimensional geometry. The attachment mechanism is a traditional post with a butterfly friction back (one back is visible, indicating they are for pierced ears). The style is modern and minimalist, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. Condition-wise, the pieces appear to be in good pre-owned condition with no significant kinks or deep scratches in the metal, though there is a natural play of shadow and light on the metallic surfaces. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production rather than a bespoke artisan piece, but the elegant lines maintain a high-quality aesthetic typical of boutique fashion accessories.
