OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was the_weight_of the_earrings_of the_gold which he_asked_for one_thousand and_seven hundred(s) gold to/for_apart from the_crescent_ornaments and_the_pendants and_garments_of the_purple that_on the_kings_of Midyān and_to/for_apart from the_chains which in/on/at/with_necks_of camels_of_their.
OET (OET-RV) Now the weight of the gold earrings of gold came to twenty kilograms, and then there were the crescent-shaped ornaments, the pendants, the dyed purple garments that the Midianite kings had been wearing, as well as the collars that had been around their camels’ necks.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶ֥לֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵא֖וֹת זָהָ֑ב
one_thousand and=seven hundreds gold
The author is using the word gold by association to mean golden shekels, a unit of weight. Alternate translation: [1,700 shekels of gold]
Note 2 topic: translate-bweight
אֶ֥לֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵא֖וֹת זָהָ֑ב
one_thousand and=seven hundreds gold
These 1,700 gold shekels weighed about 20 kilograms or over 40 pounds. In your translation, you could use the ancient measurement and spell the word “shekel” the way it sounds in your language. You could also use the metric measurement given in the UST or another measurement that your language and culture customarily use. Alternatively, you could use the ancient measurement in your translation and put a modern measurement in parentheses in the text or in a footnote.
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
הַשַּׂהֲרֹנִ֨ים
the,crescent_ornaments
The word translated as ornaments is the same word as in 8:21, so it appears that these kings wore crescent-shaped decorations made of gold as their camels did. See how you translated the word there.
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
וְהַנְּטִפ֜וֹת & הָ֣עֲנָק֔וֹת
and,the,pendants & the,chains
The word translated as pendants refers to some other kind of jewelry that these kings wore. Interpreters are not entirely sure what it was, so it may be best to use a general expression for it. The same is true for the word translated as chains, which seems to refer to some kind of decoration that went around the necks of the camels, possibly made of gold chains. Alternate translation: [and the jewelry … the necklaces]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
