Twisted Gold Hoop Earring

This item is a single hoop-style earring, likely constructed from a gold-toned metal such as 10k or 14k yellow gold, or potentially gold-filled sterling silver. The piece features a distinctive 'twisted' or spiral design, where the metal band has been manipulated to create alternating facets that catch the light, enhancing its reflective properties. This sculptural element adds texture and visual interest compared to a traditional smooth hoop. The earring is a partial or 'C' hoop style rather than a full circle, terminating at one end with a straight post-and-butterfly-back mechanism intended for pierced ears. The gold color appears bright and consistent, though the image's low resolution makes it difficult to ascertain specific hallmarked stamps for metal purity or maker's marks which would typically be found on the post or the interior curve of the hoop. Regarding condition, the metal surfaces show a high-polish finish with minor surface dulling that may indicate a light patina or organic buildup consistent with regular wear. There are no obvious signs of structural bending or deep gouges visible in the current photograph. The style is contemporary and minimalist, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present day. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial jewelry grade, with a focus on geometric symmetry in the twist pattern.
