14kt Yellow Gold Pearl Hoop Earrings

This pair of earrings features a contemporary hoop design, fashioned with a series of graduated round white pearls. Each hoop contains approximately 13 pearls that appear to be cultured, likely Freshwater or Akoya, based on their lustrous white body color with slight silvery overtones. The pearls are uniformly spherical and exhibit a smooth surface with high luster. They are meticulously strung or mounted onto a curved wire frame crafted from 14kt yellow gold, as indicated by the provided context. The earrings utilize a traditional post-and-butterfly-back closure for secure wear. The construction shows a graduating pattern where the pearls slightly decrease in size toward the terminal ends of the hoop, creating a balanced and elegant visual flow. Structurally, the earrings appear to be in excellent condition with no visible chips or peeling to the pearl nacre and no significant bending of the gold wire. While specific maker's marks are not visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship suggests a high-quality modern or late 20th-century 'Classic Revival' style. The use of solid 14kt gold rather than gold-plating indicates a higher-tier fine jewelry item meant for both durability and value retention.
