Medium Hoop Earrings

For the woman who only owns one pair of gold earrings and wants them to be the right pair.

These 18k yellow gold medium hoop earrings sit at the exact midpoint of the hoop tradition: thick enough to read as a real piece of gold from across the room, slim enough to wear from morning coffee to a dinner reservation without ever feeling like a statement. Polished to a high mirror finish, sized to frame the face without ever crowding it. Available in Italian gold, struck with the corresponding millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic provincial goldsmithing. The hoop that goes with everything because it competes with nothing.

The medium hoop is the most-worn earring in the Italian wardrobe. The proportions, the polish, and the angle of the closure were calibrated on the Ponte Vecchio after 1593, when the Medici officially registered the bridge as the home of the goldsmith's trade, as the kind of pair a Florentine woman could wear to mass and to dinner without changing.

This is the earring for the woman who has stopped chasing trends. The pair that becomes part of the face.

It reads timeless. It reads versatile. It reads as the Italian gold default.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 9k or 18k yellow Italian gold, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the earrings leave Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee included.
