Diamond Hoop Earrings

The simplest hoop is often the hardest to improve on, and these keep the form intact while running light along its full curve. 26 round cut diamonds are prong set along the front curve of each earring, held open on every side so light enters the stones rather than reflecting only from the tops, producing continuous lines of brilliance that follow the circles without a break. Crafted in 14 karat white gold and finished with rhodium for a bright, even surface, the metal recedes behind the diamonds and lets the light do the work. The diameter keeps the hoops easy to wear from day into evening, and the continuous setting means each earring looks complete from any angle. Nothing about the design dates, which is much of its appeal. Balanced at the ear and light to wear, the pair is finished with a total weight of 1/4 Ctw.
