Wide Satin-Finish Gold-Tone Hoop Earring

This item is a single large, wide-band hoop earring featuring a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The earring is constructed from a lightweight metal base with a yellow gold-tone plating. It features a distinctive brushed or satin matte finish on the exterior convex surface, while the interior concave surface appears highly polished, providing a contrasting textural play. The band is approximately 15-20mm at its widest point, tapering slightly toward the hinge and clasp. The closure mechanism is a jointed 'saddle' or 'omega' style hinge with a thin post that snaps into a notched catch, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the interior, suggesting it may be a mass-produced fashion piece rather than fine jewelry. Signs of wear include light surface scratches, some dulled areas on the matte finish, and slight discoloration on the ear post consistent with oxidation and regular use. The overall quality suggests a high-street fashion accessory likely produced between the 1980s and early 2000s, emulating the bold 'power dressing' jewelry styles of that era.
