Cubic Zirconia Circle Hoop Earrings for Women

Cubic Zirconia Circle Hoop Earrings

A geometric circle hoop set with cubic zirconia in brass, about 2.8g the pair. Supplied in a protective pouch.

Brass Rather Than Zinc Alloy

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy, and it behaves considerably better than the cheap zinc alloys most costume earrings are made from: denser, harder to bend out of shape, and it holds a plated finish more evenly because the surface is smoother to begin with. It will still darken with moisture — that is the trade-off — but it does not pit the way zinc alloy does.

Why 2.8g Matters on a Hoop

Hoops pull on the lobe more than studs do, because the weight hangs below the piercing rather than resting on it. At around 2.8g these are light enough to wear through a full day without the ache heavier hoops cause by the evening.

Care

Take them out before showering and swimming, and put them in after hairspray and perfume — moisture and cosmetics are what dull brass and stones alike. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and store them dry.

FAQ

Do they contain any restricted chemicals?
The supplier declares no high-concern chemicals for this piece — worth knowing, since cadmium and lead are both restricted in jewellery sold in the UK.
