Silver-Tone Interlocking Crossover Clip-On Earring

This item is a single clip-on earring featuring a sculptural, interlocking crossover design. It is constructed from a non-precious silver-toned base metal with a high-polish finish. The aesthetic is contemporary, likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The earring utilizes a mechanical paddle-back clip mechanism, which includes a small off-white or cream-colored circular comfort pad made of a soft plastic or rubberized material. This pad shows significant yellowing and hardening consistent with age. Physically, the earring measures approximately 15mm to 20mm in height. The metal surface exhibits minor surface scratches and light tarnishing, particularly in the recessed areas where the curved bands intersect. There are no visible maker's marks, hallmarks, or designer signatures in the provided image, suggesting it may be a mass-produced bridge or costume jewelry piece. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial fashion jewelry, with a focus on fluid, organic lines and a seamless appearance between the 'intertwined' metal bands. The condition is fair to good, with the primary sign of wear being the discoloration of the comfort cushion and general micro-abrasions from handling.
