Chunky Hoops with Aurora Opal Charms

Description

I have wanted to make silver hoop earrings with interchangeable charms for a long time.  I am currently developing a collection of charms and, in the meantime, I am selling individual pairs as I go.

The hoop itself is made out of chunky 2.5mm thick solid sterling silver wire. The widest diameter of the hoop is approximately 18mm and I have flattened/flared the bottom end to so the charms don’t come off the end. After a few practice attempts I decided this wasn’t enough, as the charms are handmade and may have a wider bail when bought seperately, so I have added a little silver ball detail too. Those charms won’t be going anywhere now!

I have really enjoyed working with Aurora Opals and recently got my hands on som smaller round pieces.  I though this blue/pink pair would make great charms for a pair of my hoops. The Aurora Opals are 8mm in diameter. Perfect for Summer. The total weight of each hoop, including the post and butterfly fitting, is 3.3g.

One pair available and ready to post.

The chunky hoops will arrive in a Sipverpickle gift box, tied with ribbon, and includes a little polishing cloth
