Description
A brushed, textured surface and a deep black ruthenium plating transform a classic C-hoop into something unmistakably modern. The open curve sits close to the ear with quiet confidence, and the diffused finish keeps the look refined rather than flashy - equally at home on a weekday or a late evening out.
Solid sterling silver forms the foundation, and the black ruthenium plating lends both the dramatic colour and a degree of tarnish resistance to the surface. The post and push-back closure holds securely through hours of wear. Produced in Italy, the earrings reflect a standard of craft that the country's jewelry industry has maintained for generations.
