GOLD VERMEIL TWISTED SQUARE TUBE ROUND HOOPS

Alright, my glamorous friends, if you liked the idea of a chunky, sculptural silver hoop but thought, “Yes, lovely, but could we make it GOLD?” – well, frankly, this is why I’m here.

These gorgeous Gold Vermeil twisted square tube hoop earrings take the classic hoop and give it a rather fabulous upgrade. Crafted from 925 Sterling Silver and finished with Gold Vermeil, they have that delicious warm Gold appearance without requiring you to sell a kidney and move into a tent.

At 32mm in diameter, these are definitely not tiny little earrings that sit quietly in the background contemplating their existence. They have presence. The 3.5mm square tube has been twisted to create a beautiful sculptural effect, giving the earrings lots of surface interest and allowing the polished Gold finish to catch the light as you move.

And because the tube is square rather than round, that twist creates a lovely ribbon-like appearance. They're contemporary, elegant and just a little bit badass – which, frankly, is exactly where I like my jewellery to sit.

✨ GOLD VERMEIL – BUT WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?

These earrings are made from 925 Sterling Silver, which is then coated with Gold to create a luxurious Gold Vermeil finish.

So, importantly, these are not Gold-plated base metal earrings. There is precious Sterling Silver underneath that gorgeous Gold exterior.

Vermeil is wonderfully glamorous, but it does require a little more love than solid Gold. Because the Gold is a surface coating, the finish will naturally become thinner with wear over time, particularly on jewellery that gets knocked about.

And earrings, despite looking innocent, are surprisingly good at getting involved in things.

Hair. Clothes. Bags. Headphones. The mysterious daily battle between your jewellery and the universe.

💛 LOOK AFTER THE GOLD

If you want to keep your Gold Vermeil hoops looking fabulous for as long as possible, I recommend removing them before showering, bathing, swimming or exercising and keeping them away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, oils, chlorine and household chemicals.

Do not wear them when washing your hands if your hands are going anywhere near the earrings – water, soap and repeated exposure will gradually affect the Gold finish.

Gold Vermeil rings tend to show wear particularly quickly because our hands spend the day being thwacked against practically everything, but earrings can also suffer from friction and knocks. A little care goes a very long way.

When you're not wearing them, pop them somewhere clean and dry, ideally in their jewellery box rather than loose in the bottom of a handbag where they will apparently be required to survive the equivalent of the Hunger Games.

🌟 WHY I LOVE HOOPS

Hoop earrings have been around for thousands of years, with examples dating back to the Bronze Age, including the Minoan civilisation. They've appeared in Gold, Silver and Bronze, travelled through cultures and centuries and somehow managed to remain completely relevant.

Which is quite an achievement for a piece of jewellery.

The circular shape has also traditionally been associated with eternity, continuity and life without beginning or end.

So these aren't merely a pair of Gold hoops.

They're a tiny piece of ancient jewellery history, wrapped around your ears and looking fabulous.

⚠️ A LITTLE BORING BUT VERY IMPORTANT BIT

Because these are pierced earrings, they are non-returnable for hygiene reasons. Please make sure you're happy with the measurements and design before ordering.

I promise I'm not being difficult. I'm being clean. There is a difference.

Your earrings arrive in an elegant, fully recycled gift box, ready to give as a gift – assuming you can resist keeping them for yourself, which I completely understand.
