Simple and beautiful, these tiny 1/2" sterling hoops are a wonderful wardrobe staple! They are secure and are very comfortable. You can also add large-diameter hole beads or dangles to them, and they are compatible with my new "Add-a-Dangle" line (dangles of type A, B, or C will work with them). They are shaped hand-hammered with a flat hammer, and lightly polished. One side is left smooth (as shown in the photos), and one side is given a satin finish. OPTIONS: • I usually make these with 20 ga. wire, but slightly thicker (19ga) wire is also available upon request - just add a 'note to seller' at checkout to request it. • A more hammered/dimpled finish is available - just request it! • Also available in Argentium or Fine silver - just request it (and, see notes below). • Note that Sterling Silver will tarnish; Argentium and Fine silver are tarnish-resistant (though not tarnish-proof). • Note that Fine silver will stay MUCH softer than the others, and is not available in 19ga. • Want these in another size or material? If you don't see what you need in my shop, contact me for a custom listing! • Gift Wrap, expedited shipping, and more are available for a small fee - contact me! ---- • TERMS AGREEMENT: To be updated shortly - if you purchase this in the interim I will send you a copy of my Terms before shipping. ***ALL INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Read my Shipping Policies section - to be updated shortly - if you purchase this for international delivery in the interim, I will contact you to confirm details, and I reserve the right to cancel the purchase.
