14K Gold Shiny Round Tube Hoop Earrings with Hinged Clasp - Elegant Women's Hoop Earrings for Everyday Wear, Parties & Special Occasions

My wife looks like a million dollars with these on, especially when she's wearing them with Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick, in Very Gold of course. What an awesome combination, I mean, really powerful stuff.Plain gold hoops are classic and classy, even when they're big, as this pair is. These are not Foxy Cleopatra, dinner-plate big, but they're certainly above average, which makes them a standout. They make themselves known whether her hair is down or up, and they always look magnificent. I've heard these things called "whore hoops," and could not disagree more. That's a sad and dated attitude, and is just plain wrong. When I become Philospher-King, every woman will get a set of these, free, and should wear them often.The one serious drawback to these earrings is that because the hoop is so big, there is a relatively large amount of flex and give in the hoop. This is a function of its diameter and weight. My wife and I discovered very quickly that the posts for these earrings are not long enough to compensate for the give and flex of the earrings as the wearer moves around, especially when walking. So, they tend to fall out; the post slips from its hole behind the ear, slides out of the earlobe, and is out and off. If you're not paying attention, you can lose this earring in a heartbeat, and that's an expensive loss.We fixed this relatively quickly by taking the earrings to the local jeweler, who added about 4mm to each post. This keeps the earrings on just fine. But mind you: this means you have to open up the earrings a little bit wider to get them on, to get that longer post into your ear and through its hole on the back side. Take care not to open that hoop too quickly or too wide or it'll bend and the only way to take the crease out of the bottom of it will be an expensive visit to the jeweler.Bottom line: Get a pair of these, ladies, for yourself because you're worth it and you'll look stunning in them. Get these, guys, for your lady because she will look so damn good with them on, which will come back to benefit you in many pleasant ways.
