Gold-Toned Triangular Stud Earring with Purple Enamel

The item is a contemporary stud earring, likely part of a pair, featuring a distinctive triangular or wedge shape. It measures approximately 1-1.5 cm in its largest dimension. The earring is constructed from a gold-toned metal, possibly plated brass or a similar base metal, given its polished appearance on the reverse side. The front face of the earring is adorned with a smooth, glossy enamel inlay in a rich, dark purple (or aubergine) color, which is characteristic of modern design aesthetics. The construction appears sturdy, with a solid backing that houses a typical stud post. The post is not fully visible, but a butterfly or friction back-style closure can be inferred from the visible part of the post. The surface of the metal shows a high shine, and while the image quality impairs a detailed inspection for wear, there are no immediately obvious scratches, chips, or significant tarnishing visible on the enamel or metal. However, some minor surface abrasions or fingerprints might be present on the metal backing due to handling. A raised marking is discernible on the gold-toned reverse, potentially a manufacturer's mark or material stamp, though the text 'MADE IN' is partially readable, suggesting it is a country of origin. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality for costume jewelry, with a clean application of enamel and a well-finished metal surface. The design is minimalist and geometric, fitting well within a modern or contemporary style period, possibly from the late 20th century to present day. Its unique aspect lies in the bold color contrast and the simple yet striking geometric form.
