Simple Hoops

These hand-hammered 14k gold-filled hoop earrings are pared back to the essentials. Each is a clean circle of gold that feels almost weightless on the ear but holds its shape through everyday wear. The result is a handmade gold hoop from an independent San Francisco studio that looks just as good alone as it does in a stack.

FIT & CONSTRUCTION

• Silhouette: Classic round, unadorned medium hoop
• Measurements: 1.5" diameter
• Construction details: Hand-hammered hoops that are light but sturdy, made for continuous wear and for pairing with other earrings

MATERIALS

Material: 14k gold-filled wire
Made: Each hoop is hand hammered in Abacus Row’s San Francisco studio. All of the brand’s jewelry is designed and handcrafted in-house at its studio and showroom, where the Nob Hill and Chinatown neighborhoods of San Francisco, California meet.

CARE

Put your jewelry on in the morning after showering and applying moisturizer or fragrance, and take it off before bed. When you’re not wearing it, store it apart from other jewelry so pieces don’t tangle or rub against each other. Like all metals, the surface will show abrasion over time.

STYLED BY LADDER

Wear them with a crisp cotton button-down and a low bun, or let them anchor an ear stack with a tiny gold stud in a second piercing. The warm gold works in every season.
