The diamond-cut finish catches light in dozens of small facets rather than as a single reflective surface, giving a simple gold hoop a sparkle quality that approaches gemstone brilliance without actually containing any stones. At 0.60 inches, these 18K yellow gold over sterling silver hoops are the smaller end of the diamond-cut family - a subtle everyday piece that adds more than a plain hoop provides without announcing itself as a fashion statement. The saddleback closure keeps the earring positioned correctly for consistent light-catching effect throughout the day. For the customer who wants their gold hoops to have a little more personality than polish alone provides.
