18KT Gold Over Sterling Silver Diamond Accent Twisted Hoop Earrings

This is a pair of twisted hoop earrings presented in their original grey fabric-covered display box. According to the stamp on the inner silk lid lining, the earrings are constructed of 18KT gold-plated sterling silver (vermeil). Each earring features a classic twisted or rope-style design in yellow gold tone, accented by a small white-metal bypass section containing minute diamond accents. These accents appear to be 'chips' or very small round cuts, meant to add a hint of sparkle rather than significant carat weight. The earrings are relatively small, likely fitting close to the earlobe as demi-hoops. The condition appears to be fair to good, with some visible tarnish or patina darkening the inner recesses of the gold-plated twist, particularly on the left earring. This oxidation is common for vermeil jewelry of the late 20th century. The presentation box is indicative of a mid-to-high level retail jeweler from the 1980s or 1990s, featuring a hinged lid and a grey sponge-textured insert to secure the jewelry. The craftsmanship is commercial grade, designed for the bridge jewelry market.
