Yin Yang Hoop Earrings

This item consists of a pair of silver-toned hoop earrings featuring dangling charms that form a split Yin Yang symbol. Each earring is constructed from what appears to be a base metal or stainless steel with a polished silver-colored finish. The hoops are approximately 15-20mm in diameter and utilize a hinge or sleeper-style closure mechanism. Suspended from each hoop is a teardrop-shaped 'comma' charm representing half of the Taijitu symbol. One charm is finished in black enamel and the other in white enamel, both featuring a small yellow circular detail where the opposing color's eye would typically be. The construction suggests mass production, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century, targeting a youthful or alternative fashion market. The condition is used; visible surface scratches are present on the metal surfaces, and there is slight dulling of the enamel finish. No visible maker's marks or hallmarks are present, suggesting these are costume jewelry rather than fine metal. The charms are attached via small jump rings. The set is currently stored in a light-gauge plastic re-closable bag, which has protected them from significant oxidation but shows some creasing and wear from handling.
