Two-Tone Horseshoe Hoop Earring

A single horseshoe-shaped hoop earring featuring a two-toned metallic finish, likely gold and rhodium-plated silver or a white gold alloy. The earring measures approximately 15-20mm in height and showcases a tapered construction that is widest at the base of the curve and narrows toward the closure terminals. The outer surface is decorated with a series of rhythmic, diamond-cut or stamped indentations that create a textured, shimmering effect intended to catch the light. The finish alternates between yellow gold sections and white metallic sections, a styling popular in the late 20th century, particularly the 1980s and 1990s. The earring utilizes a traditional wire or shepherd's hook closure, though the top portion appears significantly bent and stressed, indicating possible fatigue in the metal. The surface shows visible micro-scratches and minor tarnishing consistent with frequent wear. There are no visible hallmarks or stamps in this specific view, suggesting they may be located on the wire or interior rim. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced fine jewelry item or high-quality bridge jewelry piece.
