These gold hoops are crafted in Italy from 925 sterling silver, then given a lush 18 carat gold plating. They feature a unique cushion-effect shape and a brushed matte finish that honestly feels wonderfully soft, almost like velvet to the touch. They're definitely not your standard shiny hoops. At just 25mm in diameter, they hit that sweet spot for an everyday earring. They add a bit of understated elegance without being too much, perfect for wearing to work or just a casual dinner out. Plus, they’re hypoallergenic, so sensitive ears can wear them without a fuss.
