Saddle-Back Hoop Earring

This item is a single hoop earring, characterized by its substantial width and semi-circular geometry. The earring is constructed from a polished metal, likely stainless steel or silver-plated alloy based on the cool luster and visible surface oxidation. It features a 'saddle-back' or 'latch-back' closure mechanism, consisting of a hinged post that snaps into a notched catch on the opposing side of the hoop. The band itself is approximately 4-6mm in width with a flat interior surface and a slightly convex exterior, suggesting a stamped or machined manufacturing process. Regarding condition, there is visible tarnish and dullness across both the interior and exterior surfaces, along with minor surface scratches consistent with regular wear and friction. The hinge appears intact, though the post shows slight misalignment common in mass-produced fashion jewelry. No visible hallmarks or maker's marks are discernible in the image, indicating it is likely a contemporary, commercially manufactured piece of costume jewelry rather than high-end fine jewelry. The style is classic and minimalist, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century fashion trends.
