These hoop earrings feature tubes of yellow and white gold that crossover one another with the easy grace of a circus acrobat. The contrasting colors are a perfect balance between opposing forces–one frames the other so it becomes more startling. Both fun and elegant, these 14k gold earrings are perfect for any occasion. The posts are on a hinge and snap into a “U” shaped fixture on the back of the earring–forever relieving worries about lost earring backs and, in turn, lost earrings.

** Before I even start of, I want to say that I did not buy these earrings and I am not reviewing how the product looks & feels.. **
I never understand how gold is priced here in US.. Back in India we always pay for gold based on the actual weight of gold in the jewelery. I always find gold jewelery overpriced here..
Take the example of these earrings. They weigh 4 grams and it is 14k gold.
So the actual weight of gold is 4* (14/24) ~ 2.334 gm . The remaining 1.666 gms is usually made of metals like copper which are practically worthless.
Price of gold today ~ 37$
So, the price of gold in these earrings ~ 86.4$
Taking into consideration the design and charges for making the earrings let us add another 50$. If it is a huge necklace with intricate designs may be cost of making will be high, but these are simple earrings. Still the total is under 150$. So, what I wanted to say is I think these are totally overpriced. I don’t even understand how the actual price is shown as 808.00$ and after 558$ discount we still have to pay 250$.
All in all, I liked the design of these earrings but I will not pay 250$ for them. But thats just me!!!

I couldn’t lock the clasp by myself and once locked they hurt my ears. I couldn’t keep them on for 5 minutes. Not suited for my ears. I’ve not had this problem with other ear rings.

These earrings are very nice quality and even the box was superior in appearance.

I bought these for myself when on special. I like the depth and detail of the crossing hoops.They are of good quality, shine, and construction. I have a bit of difficulty getting them on as there is a tilt upward curve to the post at the end, but that is not enough to keep me from wearing them. The posts snap into a catch, so they are secure and I do not worry about losing one, as has happened with other earrings. Once on, they are comfortable to wear, and not too heavy in spite of their substantial visual weight. The earrings add a bit of sparkle and contrast against my dark hair, and balance well with my height. But they are not so big that they would look too heavy on someone shorter. I think they are perfectly sized.
They go well with gold and silver jewelry individually, and mixing both, as is done currently in fashion.
I would recommend them to anyone looking for versatile jewelry, and good quality at an affordable price.
