The essential gold hoop - 1 inch, high-polish finish, 18K yellow gold over bronze from Italian-crafted 18K gold over bronze. At 1 inch by 0.12 inches, the proportions sit in the sweet spot between dainty and statement: enough presence to be noticed, slim enough to wear every single day without a second thought. The polished finish creates clean, mirror-like reflections that make these earrings look significantly more expensive than they are. The 18K gold over bronze base - warmer and richer than gold over brass - is what gives Italian-crafted 18K gold over bronze pieces their distinctive depth of color. Saddleback closures. The hoop you wear when you want to look put-together without trying.
