Vintage Black Enamel and Hammered Gold-Tone Double Hoop Earrings

Description
A pair of 1980s crossover earrings, each formed from two overlapping half hoops, one in glossy black enamel and one in hammered gold-tone. The faceted gold surface scatters light the way water does at dusk, set against the still black beside it. The wide, curved shape hugs the lobe and reads bold without being heavy. Finished with posts for pierced ears.

Materials
Gold-tone base metal, black enamel
