Hexagonal Silver-Tone Hoop Earring

This item is a single hexagonal-shaped hoop earring, characterized by its geometric six-sided design. It is constructed from a silver-tone metal, which appears to be a common base metal like brass or steel with a polished plating, rather than fine sterling silver, given the visible oxidation and wear. The earring features a top-hingeless saddle or 'v' spring closure mechanism with a straight post that clicks into a curved catch. Physically, the item is lightweight with a thin gauge wire construction. Notable condition issues include significant tarnishing and loss of the reflective plating, particularly visible at the joints and along the bottom edges, revealing a darker underlying metal. There are no visible maker's marks, hallmarks, or purity stamps, suggesting it is a mass-produced fashion or costume jewelry piece from the contemporary period (approx. 2010-present). The craftsmanship is basic, with simple soldered joints and a standard mechanical hinge. The geometric style is indicative of modern minimalist jewelry trends. The overall condition is fair to poor due to the metal fatigue and surface degradation.
