### SECTION 1 โ HOOK
The enamel on these hoops isn't just painted on. We cut channels into the gold and fill them, creating crisp, clean lines between the turquoise, blue, and white. The colours wrap around the curve, so they're visible from the front and the side.
### SECTION 2 โ WHAT YOU SEE
You're looking at a pair of small 14K rose gold hoops that hug the earlobe. They have a hinged post that clicks securely into place. The front half of each earring features diagonal, inlaid stripes of turquoise, dark blue, and white enamel. The inside of the hoop has a subtle, sandblasted finish, which contrasts with the high polish of the outside.
### SECTION 3 โ CRAFTSMANSHIP
We use solid 14K rose gold, not plated metal. 14 karat gold is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength, which means these earrings are strong enough for daily life and won't easily bend. Because itโs solid gold, the colour will never rub off, and it wonโt tarnish or react with your skin. The stripes are made from certified enamel, which is fused to the gold at high heat. This gives the colours a hard, glass-like surface that resists chipping and fading over time.

### SECTION 5 โ WHY THIS PIECE
A lot of colourful earrings are big and dangly. This is for someone who wants that pop of colour but in a small, close-fitting hoop. They're classic huggies, so they sit right on the lobe. You get the pattern and the brightness without any weight or movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the enamel on The Parrot Earring chip or crack from daily wear?
The certified enamel we use is very durable and fused directly to the solid gold, so it won't easily chip or crack with normal use. It's a hard, glass-like material. We still recommend removing the earrings before any rough activities to protect both the gold and the enamel.
Is it safe to shower or sleep with my 14K gold Parrot Earrings in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in them. Solid 14K gold won't be damaged by water, and the hinged closure is secure. However, soaps and shampoos can build up over time, dulling the shine of the gold and enamel, so we recommend regular, gentle cleaning.
How can I tell if The Parrot Earring huggies will fit my earlobes properly?
These are designed to "hug" the earlobe with minimal space, making them best for first or second lobe piercings on average-to-smaller lobes. If you have thicker lobes or your piercing is set high, they might be too snug. Measure from your piercing to the bottom of your lobe to check.
