Large 14K Gold Plated Maria Hoop Earrings

These were named the Maria hoops because they remind us of something a Spanish dancer would wear. Of course, they can also be styled to have a clean, bold look that was popular in the 70's.

Lead and nickel free + hypoallergenic. Designed in Sonoma California studio.

Plated in 14k gold or sterling silver and coated to resist tarnish.

Gold Plating Care Instructions:

The go plating is a genuine fine 14k gold. The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold plated jewelry is an affordable option to solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
