These gorgeous Gold Column Hoop Earrings are crafted from Sterling Silver plated in 18ct gold. Part of our Column Collection, these hoops are the perfect statement piece to complete any outfit in style. These earrings are available plated in sleek and cool Sterling Silver, with matching pieces available, please see other listings. We believe in forever not fast or throwaway jewellery. Our pieces are made in Britain; handcrafted and personalised in our Brighton workshop. We use high-quality recycled Sterling Silver and gold. Our gold plated items are compliant with the Assay nickel release test (BS EN 1811: 1998 and BS EN 12472) therefore they are suitable for those with nickel allergies. Gold plating can wear away overtime. This can be curtailed by less exposure to water, heat and chemicals.
