The J-hoop format with a crossover X element at the front: two bands of the earring pass over each other in an X configuration on the J-shaped arc in 14K gold over sterling silver, the intersection creating a focal point and giving the earring a structural complexity that a plain J-hoop lacks. The X detail is a design choice with meaning - it references the crossover ring and crossover hoop formats that have been prominent in contemporary jewelry, here applied at a compact scale for a stud earring. Butterfly back closure. A J-hoop for the wearer who wants the format to have a distinctive character.
