Twisted Gold-Tone Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of unmarked gold-tone hoop earrings, each designed with a twisted or braided appearance. The earrings are circular in form, with one appearing slightly larger than the other, though this could be due to perspective. Each hoop is constructed from what appears to be two distinct strands or bands that are intricately twisted around each other, giving them a rich, textured surface. One of these strands has a smooth, polished finish, reflecting light, while the other exhibits a fine mesh or woven texture, adding visual depth and contrast. The color is a vibrant, uniform gold, suggesting either a high-karat gold alloy or a well-applied gold plating. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with the twists evenly executed. The left earring has a visible clasp mechanism, typical of a hinged hoop or snap-bar closure, while the right earring clearly shows a shepherd's hook ear wire, indicating different closure types between the two, which is unusual for a pair. There are no visible hallmarks, maker's marks, or significant signs of wear such as tarnishing, scratches, or dents, suggesting they are either relatively new, very well-maintained, or have not been subjected to heavy use. The style suggests a contemporary design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The asymmetry in closure types is a notable and potentially unique characteristic.
