Modernist Silver Hoop Earring

This item is a single modernist-style hoop earring, characterized by a distinctive wishbone or u-shaped silhouette with a tapering, sculptural form. It is constructed from a polished silver-toned metal, which exhibits a high-shine finish; however, the lack of visible hallmarking in this angle makes it unclear if it is solid sterling silver or a plated base metal. The earring features a curved post with a traditional saddleback or hinge-clasp mechanism. Regarding its physical dimensions, the piece appears to be approximately one inch in height with a hollow, lightweight construction for comfort. The surface shows evidence of moderate wear, including fine hairline scratches, distinct fingerprints, and light surface tarnishing or patina consistent with frequent use and age. There are no precious or semi-precious stones embedded, emphasizing its minimalist, mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but well-finished fashion accessory. The condition is fair to good, though it is currently missing its matching pair, which significantly impacts its value as a wearable piece of jewelry.
