Silver-Toned Reeded Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of silver-toned hoop earrings. Each earring is constructed from a thin, flat band of metal, bent into a circular shape. The bands appear to be approximately 3-4 mm in width. A prominent feature of both hoops is a textured or reeded edge along the bottom half of the outer circumference, reminiscent of the milling on the edge of a coin. This reeding consists of fine, parallel lines that provide a subtle grip and distinct visual interest. The metal has a somewhat dulled, matte silver appearance, suggesting it might be sterling silver that hasn't been recently polished, or perhaps a base metal alloy with a silver plating that has aged. Both earrings feature a standard post-and-clutch closure mechanism, with a straight post extending from one end of the hoop, designed to pass through the earlobe and likely secure into a small opening or catch on the opposing end of the hoop (though the catch mechanism is not clearly visible). There are no discernible maker's marks, hallmarks, or signatures visible in the image. The condition appears to be good overall, with some minor surface wear and a slight tarnishing or patina consistent with age and use. There are no obvious dents, breaks, or repairs. The style suggests a versatile, possibly vintage or classic contemporary design, suitable for everyday wear. The craftsmanship appears to be reasonably neat, with the reeding uniformly applied.
