Articulated Double Spiral Wire-Form Earrings

This pair of drop earrings features a distinctive double-spiral or 'S' curve motif, crafted from a flattened round wire. Based on the dull silver-gray tone and the presence of darkened oxidation in the recessed areas, the material is likely silver-plate or a non-precious base metal alloy with an antiqued finish. Each earring measures approximately two inches in length and features a hand-hammered appearance, giving the metal a chamfered edge and a rustic, artisanal texture. The design consists of a continuous wire that curls into a central spiral before reversing into a second larger spiral at the bottom. The earrings are suspended from 'shepherd hook' style ear wires which appear to be made of a bronze-toned or brass-plated metal, featuring a small ball and coil decorative element at the base of the hook. A simple jump ring connects the decorative spiral element to the hook, allowing for fluid motion when worn. The condition is fair to good, showing signs of significant surface wear, minor scratching, and patina that suggests frequent use or age. There are no visible maker's marks or metal fineness stamps, suggesting these are likely boutique-grade artisan craft pieces rather than fine jewelry. The style is indicative of the late 20th century to early 21st century ‘Boho-chic’ or wearable art movements.
