Handmade with solid, nickel free sterling silver, these hammered hoops are a great everyday style! These hoops are lightweight, comfortable, super sturdy & perfect for every day wear. I make these with thick sterling silver wire, I use cold forging to hand hammer them into shape, forming the wire into a slight flare in the middle for dimension. Then I go in & lightly hammer texture them on both sides & the front so they catch & reflect the light beautifully from every angle. These are polished to a high shine & the post backs are easy to wear & securely fastened with the backs. These hoops measure 1.5 across (37mm) Use these links to find the hoops in other sizes Half inch sterling silver hoops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1059340529/half-inch-sterling-silver-hoops-small 1" sterling silver hoops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/828167240/small-1-hoop-earrings-silver-hammered 2" sterling silver hoops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/842074487/2-hoop-earrings-sterling-silver-silver 2.5" sterling silver hoops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/842083361/large-sterling-silver-25-hoop-earrings 3" sterling silver hoops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/842094537/extra-large-3-sterling-silver-hoop Handmade with nickel free Argentium Sterling silver - see below for more about this unique metal!
