These hoop earrings are substantial and supremely elegant. Trust your instincts and follow your own true north, your inner light. Let your conscience chart your course and you will always choose wisely. This design was named after the designers grandmother Monique De Wulf, a true Grande Dame de Paris who is unwavering in her spiritual strength, devotion to family. These hoop earrings are hand-crafted with nickel-free brass, hand dipped into 18K gold plating and carefully polished to a gleaming finish with a final anti-tarnish protective coating to enhance longevity. As each piece is entirely made by hand with natural materials, they will all vary slightly and carry the soulful imperfections of the artisan who made it. Always avoid contact with water, lotion, perfume, chemicals, perspiration, and make-up as these can alter the jewelry finish. Wipe clean with a soft cotton cloth.
