These aren't perfect circles. They're long, flattened ovals that hang straight down from the lobe. The shape is more like a paperclip, creating a clean, architectural line against the side of your face. It's a simple, geometric alternative to a classic round hoop.
You're looking at a pair of elongated oval hoop earrings. They have long, straight sides and rounded ends. The front face has a bright white enamel inlay, framed by a thin, polished border of 14K yellow gold. The back of the hoop, the post, and the butterfly backing are all solid, polished gold. One earring is shown from the side, the other is angled to show how it's worn.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means they’re durable enough for daily wear and won't tarnish or turn your skin funny colours. The white part is certified enamel, which is essentially powdered glass fused to the gold with heat. It creates a smooth, hard surface that won't chip easily or lose its bright white colour over time.
- Material: 14K solid yellow gold
- Inlay: Certified enamel
- Closure: Post with butterfly back
- Sold as: A pair
You'd pick these if you like the idea of a hoop but want something more modern and geometric. The elongated oval shape is less common than a circle, and it has a way of visually lengthening the neck. The enamel also gives you a pop of white without the cost or worry of a stone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the white enamel on my Medium Infinity Oval Earrings chip or crack?
The enamel we use is very durable, as it's fused to the gold at high temperatures. While a hard impact on a tile floor could potentially cause damage, it's resistant to chipping from normal, everyday wear. We also cover manufacturing defects under our two-year warranty.
Can I shower or sleep in my 14K gold and enamel earrings?
Yes, you can shower in them. Solid 14K gold won't be harmed by water, and the enamel is stable. However, we recommend taking them off before sleeping to avoid bending the posts. Soaps can also build up over time, so give them a gentle clean with a soft brush and mild soap occasionally.
How heavy are the Medium Infinity Oval Earrings and will they stretch my earlobes?
These earrings are designed to be lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. While they have the pleasing substance of solid gold, they aren't heavy enough to cause stretching or discomfort for most people. They feel much lighter than a solid, chunky hoop of a similar size.
What do I do if I want to return my Medium Infinity Oval Earrings within the 30-day period?
You can return your earrings within 30 days of delivery. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca to start the process. We'll reply with a prepaid shipping label and instructions. The earrings must be in their original, unworn condition to be eligible for a full refund.
How long does shipping take for the Infinity Oval Earrings to the US, and is it free?
Shipping to the US and Canada is free for orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5-15 business days. For the UK and EU, shipping is free on orders over $110 CAD. You'll receive a tracking number once your order has been dispatched from our Coquitlam studio.
