Simple, delicate, and beautiful, these thin hoops are light enough to wear every day. A great variation on the classic hoop design, in copper or red brass! Looks fantastic with earthy tones.

Red brass is also known as NuGold, Merlin's Gold, and other names - it starts off looking like 14k, and oxidizes to a lovely butterscotch or burnt caramel color.

The first four photos show the copper hoops, in 20ga; the last photo shows the red brass hoops in 18ga, after they have oxidized for a while (yours will come to you freshly polished; you can leave them to oxidize or keep them polished).

They are lightly hand-hammered for shape and strength, and then hand polished. One side is left smooth, and the other is given a satin texture, so you can choose from 2 different variations with one pair of earrings. These are shaped with a flat hammer, so the hammered marks are not prominent - if you want a more prominent hammered look let me know and I will finish one side with a ball-peen hammer instead.

Red brass and copper will both oxidize, and may cause a greenish discoloratiion on the skin (which can be washed off) - see options below for skin guard coating.


OPTIONS:
• If no drop-down selections are made (I.e. from a mobile device), 20ga copper is the default, but you can add a note to seller to request the brass or 18ga.
• 1.5" (36mm) diameter is the default, however this listing can also be used to purchase 1.25" (30mm) - just leave a note to seller at checkout to request it.
• I offer a skin guard coating upon request (via note to seller at checkout), which is not permanent, but will delay tarnishing and temporarily keep the metals from causing any green skin discoloration.
