Gold-Tone Chunky Hoop Earring

This item is a singular chunky C-style hoop earring, characterized by its thick, rounded tubular design. The piece features a gold-tone finish that exhibits a reflective, polished surface typical of contemporary fashion jewelry. The earring utilizes a traditional post-and-butterfly closure mechanism, though the butterfly backing is missing in the photograph. The post itself appears to be made of a different metal alloy, likely surgical steel or sterling silver to accommodate skin sensitivities, showing a distinct silver-white color contrast against the golden body. In terms of condition, the item shows various micro-scratches and minor surface abrasions consistent with regular use. There is noticeable tarnishing or loss of plating near the joint where the post meets the hoop, revealing a darker base metal underneath. The construction suggests it is a mass-produced item from the late 20th or early 21st century, likely composed of a hollow brass or zinc alloy base with a gold-colored electroplated coating. The absence of a visible hallmark or designer stamp on the inner curve of the hoop suggests it is a high-street or non-designer accessory. The scale appears to be mid-sized, approximately 15-20mm in diameter, emphasizing a bold, minimalist aesthetic.
