Modernist Two-Tone Triple Hoop Teardrop Earrings
A pair of contemporary modernist-style dangle earrings featuring a nested, multi-tier circular design. Each earring is composed of three concentric, irregularly shaped hoops with a soft matte or brushed finish. The outermost and innermost hoops are gold-toned (likely gold-plated brass or copper), while the middle hoop is silver-toned. The hoops are constructed from flat, ribbon-like metal that has been twisted to add geometric depth and architectural interest. Each tier is connected by small metallic beads on a central vertical pin, allowing the rings to move independently with a kinetic quality. The earrings are suspended from silver-colored kidney-style or shepherd-hook ear wires with a decorative bead detail at the base of the hook. Overall diameter appears to be approximately 1 to 1.5 inches. The condition appears to be moderately used; there is visible surface wear to the plating, particularly on the silver-toned middle rings, and slight tarnish or oxidation on the ear wires. These elements suggest a late 20th-century to early 21st-century production, likely mass-market fashion jewelry rather than fine metalwork, given the lack of visible hallmark stamps and the nature of the oxidation.
