Dainty, yet bold
These are beautiful. The circular part is convex, about the size of a small frozen pea (the photo makes the earrings look larger), which is why I say this earring is dainty. The spiraling on my pair is flattened rather than raised (a very different effect from the photo). The hoop portion has a beautifully detailed twisted rope design that doesn't show up very well in the photo. I wasn't sure how I'd like not having an actual hoop, but the hoop portion forms a half-circle and looks very complete and intentional. The posts are long enough to feel secure and the earring backs grip the posts snugly. The design is bold, and so elegant and well proportioned. I'm very happy to have purchased these.
