These delicate little hoops that “hug” the earlobe are made with 18-karat yellow, rose, white, or black gold and set with a row of 24 diamonds or colorful sapphires. The “feminine and sparkly” earrings, as one reviewer described them, can be worn in the earlobe or higher up in a cartilage piercing, and they have a hinge closure in the back that makes it look as if the hoop is totally seamless.
