Konstantino Sterling Silver and 18k Gold Twisted Cable Hoop Earrings

This pair of designer earrings by Konstantino showcases the brand’s signature Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic, blending mixed metals with intricate metalwork. The earrings are constructed primarily from high-quality .925 sterling silver, featuring a bold, voluminous hoop or 'J' hoop silhouette defined by a deep diagonal twisted cable pattern. Framing the central textured body are bands of 18k yellow gold, providing a rich color contrast that is a hallmark of Greek artisanal jewelry design. The craftsmanship is evident in the heavy oxidation applied to the recessed areas of the silver, which creates high-contrast shadows and highlights the three-dimensional nature of the ribbing. The earrings appear to be designed for pierced ears, accompanied by matching silver and gold-accented earring backs. In terms of condition, there is a visible warm patina and signs of light surface oxidation on the gold components, suggesting a vintage or pre-owned status with moderate use. There are no missing structural elements visible, though the sterling silver shows some minor surface scuffing consistent with age. These pieces likely date from the late 20th to early 21st century and represent the high-end artisan jewelry market known for weightiness and neoclassical textures.
