Gold-Toned Wire Floral/Bow Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of handcrafted hoop earrings, each distinctly shaped into an openwork floral or bow-like design. The earrings are constructed from what appears to be gold-toned metal wire, possibly brass, gold-plated, or a similar alloy, due to its warm, reflective sheen. Each earring prominently features five loops, emanating from a central wrapped nexus, simulating petals or ribbons. The wire is relatively thin, giving the earrings a delicate yet substantial presence. The construction shows evidence of being handmade, with slight variations between the two pieces and visible wrapping at the center of the floral forms, confirming the 'Handmade' context provided. One earring exhibits a standard hoop closure mechanism with a straight post that slots into a receiving tube, while the other's closure is less clearly visible but appears to be of the same type or a simple hook. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of major damage or breakages. There might be some light surface wear or minor tarnishing consistent with use, particularly on the ear wires, as seen on the lighter silver-toned section of the hoop closure on the right earring. The design suggests a contemporary or modern aesthetic, likely produced in the last few decades, focusing on organic forms and lightweight statement pieces. Quality indicators include the consistency of the wire bending and the secure central wrapping, though a more detailed examination would be needed to assess the metal quality and potential for wear over time.
