Two-Tone Ribbed C-Hoop Earrings
A pair of decorative C-shaped hoop earrings featuring a distinctive two-tone metal finish. The primary body of each earring is constructed with a yellow gold-toned metal, characterized by a deep, linear ribbed or fluted texture that runs horizontally across the curved surface. The ends of the 'C' shape are accented with silver-toned or white gold caps, which feature a cross-hatched or secondary textured pattern, providing a stylistic contrast to the main body. These earrings utilize a hinged 'click-top' or latch-back closure mechanism, with a thin wire post designed to hook into a small notch on the opposing side. Based on the design language, these likely date from the late 20th century, specifically the 1980s or 1990s, a period where bold, textured two-tone gold jewelry was highly fashionable. The construction appears to be high-quality costume jewelry or gold-filled/sterling silver based on the color and finish. Condition appears excellent with no visible tarnishing, significant surface scratches, or mechanical failure in the hinges.
