These hoop earrings from Italy are very attractive with a twisting pattern of sterling silver tri-color bands: sparkling matt gold, sparkling matt silver, and polished silver. The hoops are 1.18 inches in diameter (30 mm) and look large until they are worn when they appear well-proportioned to the ear. The earrings hang in a stable fashion in parallel with the side of the head. They are stable because of the long, strong clasp that extends through the ear piercing. The silver clasp snaps audibly when fastened through the ear making the earrings secure.

In addition to the very nice aesthetic quality of the earrings, the sterling silver does NOT have nickel in the clasp that can cause irritation for some wearers.
