Gold-Toned Twisted Rope Hoop Earring
This item is a single hoop earring featuring a classic twisted or 'rope' design in a polished gold-toned finish. The earring is circular in shape with a diameter of approximately 1.5 to 2 inches, suggestive of a medium-sized fashion jewelry piece. The construction consists of a hollow decorative hoop attached to a hinged top closure (click-top or saddleback style) for securing it to the ear. The gold coloring appears to be a plating or surface wash over a base metal, rather than solid gold, as indicated by a slight tonal shift and darkened oxidation visible on the earring post. The surface of the earring reflects light through its diagonal textured grooves, providing a sparkling effect despite the lack of stones. Regarding condition, there is visible wear including light surface scratches and localized tarnishing near the hinge and the post, which shows a darker, possibly nickel-based or steel core. No distinct maker's marks, signatures, or metal purity stamps are visible in the image, characteristic of mass-produced contemporary fashion jewelry. The style is timeless yet aligns with late 20th-century to modern-day accessory trends focused on high-shine, lightweight metal aesthetics.
