The satin finish on solid 14K yellow gold produces a quality of light that polished gold cannot: a soft, diffuse warmth that reads as luxurious rather than brilliant, matte rather than glossy, with a depth that improves with wear as the finish develops a gentle patina from contact with the skin. At 0.60 inches in diameter and approximately 1/4 of an inch wide, this is a hoop with real presence and real weight - solid 14K gold at this size has a character and warmth that gold-plated equivalents cannot reproduce. The saddle back closure provides reliable secure wear. A satin gold hoop in solid 14K gold is the fine jewelry investment that rewards daily reach.
