The Melissa Joy Manning "Classic" Large Hoop Earrings will complement casual and business styles with a splash of golden shine. These large round hoops are created in a certified green California studio. They are 14k yellow gold and handmade by the artist with a hammered effect to create the illusion of greater weight and shine. The artist hand creates each set of earrings, so the size and shape may vary slightly. The round hoops are made from one continuous piece of wire, and they measure approximately 1 inch long and .5 millimeter wide. The unique back finding features a locking mechanism engineered by the artist.
