At 1" diameter with a 1/16" tube, the polished sterling silver hoop arrives at the canonical proportion - the size where "hoop earring" calls to mind. Not so small as to be read as studs from a distance, not so large as to make a statement, a 1" polished hoop is the piece that answers the question of what to wear when there is no answer. The cool, bright white of sterling silver in rhodium plating creates a clean continuous arc of reflected light that the face catches differently at every angle. This hoop works with everything: pulled-back hair, casual dress, formal dress, layered with necklaces or wearing none at all. The saddleback closure is secure for all-day wear. At the 1" size, this is the hoop that women reach for most often - the size that has proven itself across decades of jewelry wearing as genuinely right. Classic fine jewelry at an honest price.
