These gold hoop earrings are accented with twisted wire vermeil rings and pretty Czech glass beads. The teardrop beads are wrapped in gold-filled wire. The hoops are handmade, and the dangles may be removed for the hoops to be worn alone. The glass beads have a pretty light purple hue.
The earrings measure 1.75 inches in total length. The hoops alone measure 1 inch. The 9mm beads dangle 19 mm from the hoops.
The wire used to make these earrings are all gold-filled. Gold-filled materials consist of a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal core. The gold layer is very durable and will last decades with proper care. The twisted rings are vermeil----sterling silver layered with gold.
