Gold-Toned Small C-Hoop Earrings with Friction Backs

This item consists of a pair of gold-toned hoop earrings, specifically designed in a 'C' or demi-hoop shape rather than a full circle. The earrings feature a polished metallic finish with a warm yellow-gold luster, likely signifying a gold-plated or gold-filled base metal composition rather than high-karat solid gold. Each earring is approximately 15mm to 20mm in diameter with a consistent tubular thickness of roughly 2mm. The construction includes a standard straight post for pierced ears, secured by rubber-covered butterfly or friction backs. Notable features include the rounded, blunt ends of the C-shape and the smooth, reflective surface devoid of engravings or gemstones. The condition appears to be used but good, with some minor surface scratches and faint discoloration near the post-attachments, suggesting light wear. No visible maker's marks or hallmark stamps are discernible in the current view, which is common for mass-produced fashion jewelry from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is utilitarian, aimed at everyday wearability.
