Pair of Oxidized Sterling Silver Twisted Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of oxidized sterling silver hoop earrings, each featuring a twisted rope design. The earrings are circular in shape, with an open or C-hoop style, and closure through a post-back mechanism, visible on the top of each hoop. The metal has an intentionally darkened or oxidized finish in the recesses of the twisted pattern, which creates a high-contrast shadow effect, enhancing the textural appearance of the rope motif against the lighter, polished raised surfaces. Each earring appears to be approximately 2-2.5 cm (about 0.8-1 inch) in diameter. The craftsmanship indicates a machine-made or semi-handmade process, evidenced by the consistent twisting pattern. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks in the provided images, which often would be found on the post or back of the earring. The overall condition appears good, with the intended patina of oxidation visible and no obvious signs of significant wear such as dents, scratches, or bending. The posts appear straight and intact. The style suggests a casual yet classic aesthetic, likely from a modern or contemporary period, perhaps within the last 20-30 years, designed for everyday wear. The quality indicators are good, with even twisting and consistent oxidation, suggesting a durable and well-finished product.
