Description
Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Twisted Rope Tube Hoop Earrings 23mm ~1.46g. The twist pattern gives them a soft sparkle and texture without adding bulk. Gold alloys can differ in color, density, and composition. Older or handmade pieces may not conform precisely to modern karat standards despite acid‑testing results. These vintage 14K gold hoop earrings are made from thin twisted gold tubing in a classic rope‑style design. The twist pattern gives them a soft sparkle and texture without adding bulk. The slim profile keeps them lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear while still giving a substantial look when worn. Each earring measures approximately 23mm in diameter and about 1mm thick, with a combined weight of ~1.46g. The snap‑bar post closures work smoothly and securely. The posts are stamped 14K along with a small factory maker’s mark that is difficult to decipher (M6 / MB / M8), typical of machine‑made gold hoops from this period. They are in excellent vintage condition with light surface wear from normal use. The posts are marked and the earrings acid‑tested for gold purity. Both post and body of the earrings acid-test results are consistent with 14K gold. As with all vintage and/or international gold items, exact alloy composition may vary slightly depending on age, country of origin, and alloying practices. Gold alloys can differ in color, density, and composition. Older or handmade pieces may not conform precisely to modern karat standards despite acid‑testing results. No claims are made beyond the visible hallmarks and acid‑testing results. Buyers are encouraged to evaluate based on the provided images and description. Provenance These earrings were purchased new in 1994 from Ross‑Simons for my mother. They are classic machine‑crafted 1990s Ross‑Simons hoops, possibly made in Italy. My cats love to supervise the photography process, so a stray cat hair in photos or in the package is always possible.
