Vintage Silver-Tone and Blue Tapered Hoop Post Earrings

This pair of vintage costume jewelry post earrings features a tapered hoop or teardrop design. The earrings are constructed from a silver-tone base metal, possibly nickel or rhodium-plated brass, showcasing a combination of textures. The upper portion of the hoop is accented with a smooth, semi-translucent material that appears to be hand-applied epoxy resin or enamel in shades of slate blue and seafoam green, creating a subtle ombre or color-blocked effect. The bottom center of each hoop is detailed with a decorative open-work metal band featuring a Greek key or floral motif, providing a contrasting textural element. The earring backs are standard post style with yellowed plastic disc clutches, suggesting a production era from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Regarding condition, there is visible oxidation and darkening of the silver-tone finish on the interior and mechanical parts. The plastic backs show significant yellowing due to age and UV exposure. No clear maker's marks are visible in the image, but the craftsmanship is consistent with mass-market fashion jewelry of the late 20th century. The overall aesthetic is a blend of geometric modernism and classic decorative motifs.
