Two-Tone Twisted Ribbon Gold Hoop Earrings

A pair of contemporary C-hoop or small hoop earrings featuring a distinctive two-tone metal design. These earrings are constructed with a 'twisted ribbon' or diagonal candy-cane motif, alternating between polished white gold and textured yellow gold sections. The yellow gold portions exhibit a fine brushed or matte finish, providing a high-contrast aesthetic against the reflective, high-polish white gold segments. Based on their scale relative to the person's hand, they appear to be approximately 15mm to 20mm in diameter with a rounded, tubular profile. The construction suggests a hollow-form manufacturing technique to minimize weight for comfortable wear. While no hallmarks are visible in the provided image, the craftsmanship and metal contrast are characteristic of fine jewelry from the late 20th century to the early 21st century (circa 1990s-2000s). The visible condition is good; the metal surface shows minor micro-scratches consistent with gentle previous use, but the structure remains symmetrical and free of significant denting or deformation. These earrings likely utilize a hidden hinge and notched post closure system for a seamless look. The quality is indicated by the precision of the diagonal patterning and the sharp delineation between the different metal colors and finishes.
