This lot comprises two items of yellow metal jewellery. The first item is a pair of hollow-constructed hoop earrings featuring a bamboo motif with segmented cylindrical sections and raised ridges. The earrings are fitted with hinged latch fastenings. Small marks are present on the curved earring posts, though the characters are not clearly legible under magnification. The second item is a fine link neck chain of elongated trace or cable link design, measuring approximately 40 cm in length. It is fitted with a spring ring clasp. The jump ring adjacent to the clasp bears stamped marks, although these are too small to be transcribed. The combined weight of the two items is 1.14 grams.


Condition report:

Both items are in a used but functional condition. The hoop earrings show light surface scratching and minor tarnishing consistent with wear; the hinged fastenings operate correctly. Internal metal purity could not be verified by professional assay, though they appear consistent with low-carat gold. The neck chain is intact with no visible kinks, repairs, or breaks, and the spring ring clasp remains functional.
