A 1-inch solid 14K yellow gold hoop earring at 3/16 of an inch wide is the fine jewelry gold hoop at its definitive expression: the diameter is perfect - large enough to make a confident statement, refined enough to work for any occasion - and solid 14K gold has the permanence and quality that gold-over-sterling, however well made, cannot fully match. The warm, deep tone of 14K gold in a full-circle polished hoop creates the classic gold jewelry impression that has made the gold hoop one of the most enduringly purchased earrings in fine jewelry history. The saddle back closure keeps it exactly in place. This is the hoop earring that justifies itself as a permanent fine jewelry investment.
