Graduated Faux Pearl Open Hoop Earring
Unbranded Fashion Jewelry · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-2020s)
Material
Likely plastic acrylic faux pearls, gold-tone base metal wire and beads, and a standard butterfly clutch back. Non-precious materials indicate mass-market production.
Condition
Fair to Good. Note that only one earring is shown; if the pair is incomplete, the value is negligible. Some potential peeling on the faux pearl coating near the post.
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While pearl hoops are a staple, unbranded single earrings or mass-market sets have very low resale value due to shipping costs exceeding item value.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$2.00 - $6.00
Estimated Retail Value
$8.00 - $15.00
Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded pearl hoop sets often sell for $5-$10 on platforms like eBay, while single missing-mate earrings usually sell for under $3 in bulk lots.
Description
Single open hoop earring featuring a graduated design of white faux pearls separated by gold-tone spacer beads. Classic 'C' shape hoop style with a stud post back. Versatile and lightweight costume jewelry.
Key Features
Graduated pearl sizing (aesthetic trend), timeless bridal or classic style, lightweight design, versatile gold/white color palette.
Authenticity Indicators
No visible designer hallmarks or maker's marks; high-shine finish on pearls suggests synthetic/plastic coating. Confidence: High (it is mass-market costume jewelry).
Flaws to Note
Single earring (unless the pair exists); minor surface scratches on pearls; base metal likely to tarnish or cause sensitivity if not nickel-free.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a larger 'jewelry lot' on eBay or Mercari, or locally via Facebook Marketplace. Too low value for individual Poshmark or Etsy listings.
Selling Tips
If selling individually, emphasize 'Bridal' or 'Classic' keywords. It is best to bundle this with other costume jewelry to make shipping worthwhile. Ensure the post is sanitized before selling.
