Vintage UnoAerre 9ct Yellow Gold Sculptural Puffy Elongated Hoop Earrings

A beautiful example of vintage Italian gold jewellery, these striking 9ct yellow gold hoop earrings were crafted by renowned Italian jewellery house UnoAErre, a name celebrated for its long tradition of quality Italian goldsmithing. Far from your ordinary gold hoop, these earrings feature a wonderfully sculptural, tapered silhouette, with sweeping fluted and ribbed detailing creating the appearance of softly folded or pleated gold. The graduated ridges flow elegantly around each earring, catching the light beautifully and giving the design wonderful depth and movement. Their unusual shape sits somewhere between a tapered teardrop, fan and classic hoop, creating a bold vintage statement while remaining elegant and highly wearable. The dimensional design has a fabulous Retro/Modernist character, with the warm polished yellow gold perfectly complementing their strong architectural form. Despite their wonderfully substantial appearance, the earrings have been cleverly crafted with a hollow construction, allowing them to achieve that luxurious, voluminous look without unnecessary weight. Together, the pair weighs just 2.05 grams, making them wonderfully comfortable for everyday wear. Finished with hinged fittings for a neat and secure fit, they sit beautifully on the ear and offer all the visual impact of a much heavier pair of gold earrings. DETAILS Full Italian hallmarks for 9ct gold, and makers mark 'UnoAerre', stamped to each earring. Both earrings together weigh 2.05 grams- Hollow puffy design. Each earring measures approx 22mm high X 17mm wide X 7mm thick. CONDITION Very good preloved vintage condition, with only minor signs of wear. Some fine marks and scratches may be present. No dents or damage is present. The hinged closures secure very well. Hallmarks remain crisp and clear.
