Hammered Geometric Rose Gold-Tone Hoop Earring
This item is a single three-quarter hoop earring featuring a post-and-butterfly style backing (clutch missing). The earring is characterized by a faceted or hammered geometric exterior profile rather than a smooth circular curve, giving it a handcrafted aesthetic. It is constructed from a non-precious base metal with a rose gold or copper-toned plating. Based on visual inspection, the earring shows significant condition issues including localized pitting, loss of plating on the interior edges, and noticeable tarnish/oxidation on the post, which appears to be a different alloy (likely stainless steel or brass). The metal band is approximately 1.5mm to 2mm in width. The craftsmanship is indicative of contemporary mass-market costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry, given the irregular plating wear and the lack of visible hallmarks or maker's marks on the inner band. The style is modern minimalist, likely produced within the last 10-15 years. The surface exhibits a matte-to-satin finish with visible signs of handling and environmental wear, particularly around the soldered joint where the post meets the hoop.
