Twisted Rope Earrings Appraisal

Gold Twisted Rope Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of gold-toned hoop earrings, approximately 1 inch in diameter as suggested by the context. Each earring features a twisted rope design, giving it a textural, artisanal appearance. The material appears to be a polished yellow metal, likely gold or gold-plated, exhibiting a bright, reflective surface. The construction of the hoop involves a continuous circular form, with a simple wire closure mechanism typical of traditional hoop earrings, where one end of the hoop passes through a small loop on the other end to secure it. No discernible maker's marks or stamps are visible in the provided images. The condition appears to be very good with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs; the metal retains its luster, indicating good care or recent polishing. The twisted design suggests a classic, timeless style that has been popular across various periods, but without specific markings, a precise age is difficult to determine. However, the clean finish and simple design could place them from the late 20th century to contemporary manufacturing. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, with the twists uniformly applied around the hoop, confirming standard jewelry manufacturing techniques.
