Beautiful pieces.
Bought these for my mom, she has extremely sensitive ears, to metals, weight, movement, everything. They are PERFECT!<br /><br />1st. Word for those less into the jewelry game, these are not plated like cheap pieces, they are gold filled, which means that gold is in a very thick layer across all surfaces, and it is 'filled' with a stronger metal i.e steel, brass, silver etc. The gold exterior will never tarnish, come off, chip off or anything of the sort that happens with cheaper plated pieces, and the hoop itself is stronger than solid gold would be because of the stronger core. That goes for anything gold filled, bracelet, ring, necklaces all the same process of permanently bonding gold onto the surface of a stronger metal core rather than cheaply electroplating a micron layer ontop.<br />2nd. They are actually hand finished ends, rounded and not sharp in any way shape or form. If properly installed into a piercing you will not feel the seam at all, unlike many others that claim to be hand made but are simply measured and cut leaving very sharp ends for a very sharp seam. These are not that!<br />3rd. They are very thin, standard american gauge for lobe piercings is 18g these are 20g which sounds bigger but in actuality 20g is a size smaller than 18g. They are comparable but still slightly smaller, if you're looking for very thin hoops that aren't too thin, these are it. And the twist adds that extra something to catch the eye, and add double the sparkle so they aren't plain in the slightest.<br />10/10 would recommend! And I have purchased more pairs for mom and myself already!
