"These 1980s unsigned half-hoop clip-on earrings feature a bold, sculptural twisted rope motif in a polished gold-tone metal.

The earrings measure approximately 1.76 inches and are constructed with secure, functional clip-back hardware. The front surfaces remain bright with no visible loss or scratching, while the reverse displays an authentic, age-appropriate brushed patina. An excellent example of mid-to-late 1980s American costume jewelry. All vintage sales are final; no returns or exchanges."
