Sterling Silver-Plated Brass Hoop Earrings from Germany

These hoop earrings are crafted from brass base metal with a thin sterling silver plating for a luxurious shine, fitting the definition of imitation jewelry under HTS 7117.19.90.00 as they use base metal plated with precious metal but lack genuine precious stones or pearls. They qualify as small objects of personal adornment without exceeding the 'minor constituents' threshold for precious metals.
