Real mined white diamonds in a solid 14K yellow gold J-hoop earring is fine jewelry that earns serious consideration: 0.50 total carats of genuine diamond set in real 14K gold in the J-hoop format - one of the strongest current earring silhouettes - at a price that reflects the investment quality of the materials. The J-hoop's open-ended curve creates movement and modernity at the ear that closed hoops cannot match; in solid gold with real diamonds, that contemporary silhouette carries the permanent value that fashion jewelry in base metal cannot. At approximately 3/4 of an inch long in the directional J-curve, this earring has presence and character in equal measure. A real fine jewelry purchase that participates in the current earring conversation.
