Black Rutilated Quartz Wire Wrapped Gold Hoops

These black rutilated quartz hoop earrings are a neutral, elegant choice for everyday. High-quality, gold filled hoops are wrapped entirely with sparkly quartz gemstones in this pair. The stones are shaped like tiny coins, so they sit nice and straight on the square-edged hoops. The warmth of the gold highlights the black and white of the stones, and the combination is unexpected and so pretty. I have arranged the stones from the darkest at the front, to the lightest at the back for a pretty ombre effect. Hoops are approx. 1 1/4" (32mm) wide including the gemstones. A matching necklace set is also available. Your jewellery will be packaged in a small gift box. Gift wrapping is available upon request. What is Gold-Filled? Gold-filled is an economical alternative to solid gold. By law, it has 1/20th by weight layer of 14 karat gold permanently bonded over a core of base metal. It is tarnish-resistant, safe for sensitive skin and unlike gold plate, it will not wear off. It is a great way to enjoy affordable gold jewellery.
