Gold-Tone Heart Charm Huggie Hoop Earring

This item is a single huggie-style hoop earring featuring a small, dangling heart charm. The earring appears to be constructed from a gold-toned metal, though without professional testing or visible hallmarks, the exact purity of the gold or whether it is gold-plated base metal cannot be definitively confirmed. The design consists of a small circular hoop with a hinged 'huggie' closure mechanism, which is designed to sit close to the earlobe. Suspended from the bottom of the hoop via a small jump ring is a three-dimensional puff heart charm with a polished finish. In terms of condition, the item shows minor signs of surface wear and light scratching consistent with general use. There is no significant tarnishing or loss of plating immediately visible, suggesting either a high-quality plating or solid metal construction. The style is contemporary, likely manufactured within the last 10-15 years, and reflects a minimalist aesthetic popular in modern fashion jewelry. The craftsmanship appears to be industrial and mass-produced rather than hand-forged, evidenced by the uniform smoothness of the hoop and the standard machine-pressed appearance of the heart charm.
