Fat Curl Earrings - best Hoop Style - sterling silver

7/8" width
1-1/8" total length including ear wire
5/8" length - from inside curve to bottom
Sterling Silver

This is the latest in what I call my "hoop-style earring" collection. A little larger than most of them, but still totally comfortable. They look great together with smaller earrings in multiple ear holes.

The ear wire is made of half-hard best sterling silver wire. It acts like a spring, and holds itself in the catch by spring action. It doesn't have the hardness of stainless steel, so if you pinch it in too far, it doesn't spring back all the way. If you accidently do just that, all is not lost. You simply pull the wire back out so the end of the wire lines up with the catch.

I have three variations of the "Curl" style hoop earrings. This is the largest of the three. The last image has all three curls together so you can compare. The Fat Curls are the bottom pair.
