12mm 22K GOLD OVER SOLID STERLING SILVER HINGED HOOP EARRINGS, Easy On & Off !

I bought two pair of these in 12mm and one pair in 14mm. I like the gold over silver look. They are solid metal, not hollow tubing.My ears did not react to these earrings, so that means there is no nickel, lead or rhodium in them, yay! (I'm allergic to nickel, so my earholes get red and irritated if there is any nickel, and sometimes I get a reaction to rhodium plated silver that stays "shiny" via the rhodium.)They're pretty sturdy and once you fasten them, the catch stays shut. I caught my earrings on my brush one morning while brushing my hair -- and they didn't rip out of my ears like other hoops earrings have. Instead, they stayed put, but the brush movement yanked on my earlobe!They come with instructions on how to store sterling silver earrings when you're not wearing them. They don't *look* like sterling... they look gold.However, I found out they tarnish like sterling will. I had an acne breakout so I put a sulfur mask on my face. I got some of the mask on the two earrings lowest on my earlobes and closest to my cheeks. Sure enough, they tarnished.This is not a big deal, as I can easily remove the tarnish the way I usually do. But people might want to know that, despite being gold over sterling, they will *still* tarnish.(The way I usually remove tarnish on my silver jewelry is the old beginner chemistry way:Put a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of a clean coffee mug. Put jewelry in mug on top of the aluminum foil.Set tea kettle on high flame on stove, to boil. When water boils, pour mug about 1/2 to 2/3 full of boiling water.Holding the mug with the foil, jewelry, and just-boiled water over the kitchen sink, sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons baking soda on top of the steaming hot water in the mug.Watch the water fizz and foam up quite a bit, sometimes overflowing the mug if it's filled with too much water.Let everything sit for about 10 minutes. There's a rotten egg smell from the tarnish (from sulfuric compounds in the tarnish, which come from pollution, the air around us, etc.) as the tarnish leaves the silver jewelry and bonds to the aluminum foil, and the bubbles from the chemical reaction rise to the surface of the water in the mug.And that's all there is to it. I wouldn't use this method with super intricate, antique/heirloom silver jewelry or a set of silver service for dining/entertaining. But for everyday, mass produced sterling jewelry, this method works fine and is way less expensive than buying special silver polishing clothes or silver polish. It's grammar school chemistry! And, as far as I know, it does not harm the jewelry.)Bonus: You can "twirl" or turn these earrings in your ear holes. I like to put hoops in my ears and forget about them. But after I shower every morning, I turned these 1/4 turn in my ear holes. They didn't stick, and the hing and catch have about the same diameter as the rest of the hoop, plus no sharp edges. So you can actually turn the entire earring a full turn through your ear holes without it hurting or harming your ear holes on the inside.

I've been looking everywhere for a small gold hoop earring for my cartilage piercing and these are perfect! They are perfect size and easy to put in and take out. The gauge was just a tad to big for my piercing so the first time i put it in was a little painful. My ears are usually sensitive to cheap jewelry and these do not irritate my ears. GREAT quality!

These got here super fast. We ordered them because it's the only kind of earring my bf likes to wear, and we couldn't find them in stores anywhere. The packaging went above and beyond. I took off a star because he hasnt worn them yet, but will update after he tries them out for a day or two.

These were way too small to fit my lobes, so my husband is using them, and unfortunately I noticed that the gold colour wore off almost immediately which is a shame, they were exactly what I was looking for style wise

This has been a hard to find earring, was happy to see it return on Amazon. The description / image is accurate, Notice that when closed it is a complete circle, which is the reason I buy. You can twirl it around and around after inserted and no snags are felt. I wear them 24/7, they are gentle on a pillow, does not stick your head like straight posts. I replace with new ones as needed. Can clean ears and earrings often with alcohol. I also have noticed that one ear is easier to insert than the other, maybe due to being right handed or left handed, but with trial and error, I managed. It took some practice account of the curve.Will continue to buy cause I love love love them.

Arrived as described. Very pleased withe these nice lightweight easy to fasten and comfortable to sleep in little earrings. Great buy for the price!

I did not purchase these earrings for my ears, I purchased them to be used as a means of attaching my pendants to my necklace chains. They work very well in that capacity. They are very small and you can't see the closing at all. I can now wear my favorite pendant with a beautiful chain that I was not able to wear with before now, and the best part is that they are nickel free!

It was just what we were looking for but tarnished in no time. I tried cleaning them, but they look horrible.
