These are very noticeable, well-made hoops - and they don't twist sideways when wearing - yayyy! The hanging length is over 2" (more like 2 1/2) - think the 1970's when hoops were large and in charge. The silver is polished nicely and weight and feel is substantial without dragging down the earlobes. If you like big hoops you will love these!

Finally - a great product worthy of the Amazon Curated Collection line . . .
