Infinity Loop Open Teardrop Dangle Earrings
Unbranded (Likely Mass-Market Fashion Jewelry) · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
2010s to Modern
Material
Base metal with a gold-tone or silver-tone plating. High level of surface tarnish/oxidation suggests a low-cost alloy such as brass or zinc.
Condition
Fair to Poor. Significant tarnishing, darkening of the metal finish, and visible surface wear. The ear wires appear slightly bent from use.
Demand Level
Low. Common mass-produced fashion earrings have very low resale turnover unless from a high-end designer.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$2.00 - $8.00 (as part of a bulk lot or craft bundle)
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $25.00 (comparable to Target, Kohl's, or Claire's)
Comparable Sales
Similar generic fashion earrings typically sell in bulk lots ranging from $15 to $30 for 10-20 pairs, averaging less than $2.00 per individual pair.
Description
A pair of gold-tone dangle earrings featuring a modern, open teardrop silhouette with an infinity-style twisted loop at the top. Designed with french hook (fish hook) wires for pierced ears. The minimalist design is versatile but shows significant signs of wear and age.
Key Features
Timeless teardrop shape, lightweight hollow construction, easy-to-wear hook style, minimalist aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
No visible stamps (e.g., '925', '14k') indicate these are costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry. Confidence level in 'Costume Jewelry' status is High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy tarnishing throughout, especially on the lower curve and near the loop joints; plating is wearing thin; ear wires may require sanitization or replacement.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for a local garage sale, a 'fill-a-bag' thrift bundle, or as part of a jewelry craft lot on eBay/Mercari.
Selling Tips
Do not sell as a standalone item as shipping costs will exceed the value. Clean gently with a polishing cloth to see if the shine returns. List in a 'Jewelry Lot' to increase perceived value.
