Most hoops only have stones on the outer face. We set a second row on the inner curve of these, so the back of the hoop reflects light forward. From the front, you see a completely unbroken circle of gems that catches light from every direction.

These are a pair of extra-large, 4.2cm hoops made from polished 925 silver. A continuous line of round cubic zirconia stones runs along the front face and the inner back curve. Each stone is held by four tiny, shared prongs, creating a clean, scalloped line. The hinge has a small scroll engraving on its side and fastens with a secure spring lock that clicks audibly into place.

The body of the earring is solid 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver mixed with alloys for strength. This means the hoops will hold their shape well despite their large diameter. It's also a nickel-free material, so it's a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, cut for brilliance. The post clicks firmly into a spring-lock clasp, so you can feel and hear that it's closed properly before you walk out the door.

You'd pick these when you want the presence of a big hoop but with more light and detail than plain silver. By setting gems on the inside of the back curve, the earring looks like a complete, unbroken circle of stones when you're facing someone.
