I've bought white gold hoops before and spent more for flimsy earrings that bent way too easily. These earrings are thin but solid and sturdy. The diamond cutting is superb. It catches light from all angles. It is also not too small but not too big either. It is a very fashion forward look and I've been complimented already on them and I've only had them two days.If you love hoops, love sparkle and love contemporary looks, this pair is for you.Oh and today is my birthday. I ordered this item on a Thursday and got it yesterday just in time for the big day.
