These sterling silver hoop earrings are gorgeous! They have two entwined strands making the circle, one in high polish sterling silver and the other textured to look almost like snakeskin. The two strands terminate at separate sterling plates which make the clasp and hinged curved post fitting to fasten them. We encourage you to use the magnifying glass feature on the photos to check out the beautiful quality of the earrings. They measure 1 1/4" H x 1 1/8" W x 1/8" thick in the double strand. I have included two photos of the curved post in an attempt to show the markings on them which are a "925" indicating sterling silver content of 925 parts per thousand of pure silver and the letters SA which is the maker's mark, but unknown to us. These earrings are in excellent used condition and ready to wear with anything from jeans to formal wear and everything else in between. We will ship them to you in a jewelry gift box for storage or gift giving as you desire.
