I had these on my wish list and decided to order them for myself after Christmas, after looking in stores and not finding anything that looked quite the same! They just arrived and all I can say is WOW! Nice look, substantial size and plenty of "statement". Picture does not do them justice. All I can say is don't hesitate, you will be dissappointed if they sell out.

These have become my go-to earrings. They're versatile, beautiful and comfortable -- all characteristics I expect from quality 14 kt gold jewelry. As others have noted, the size is appropriate for both day and evening. The style works equally well at work and for a fun night out.

The design of joined twin gold hoops, one white and one yellow, means that you can mix and match your watch band and bracelets and still look put-together. They're a natural choice to accompany any two-tone jewelry you may have. You also can play around with having the white gold closest to your face or the yellow gold closest, which can be useful if you are trying to coordinate with a necklace.

I like the security and ease of a snap closure; there's no worry about a backing going missing and having to find a replacement. In fact, for earrings above a certain value, having a snap closure is almost a "must" for me.

These are comfortable to wear, and I've received compliments on them. The only drawback is remembering to be careful about the amount of pressure you use in snapping the earrings closed; I do wish that the vertical receptacle were a bit thicker, and for that reason, I'm subtracting a star (wish we could rate in half-star increments).

How can you go wrong with these two-tone hoops? They are stylish and substantial, and perfect for both white and yellow gold lovers. Highly recommended, for yourself or as a gift!

I bought these earrings as a lightning deal special last November. I've been very satisfied with them. Size-wise, the external diameter of the earring is pretty much identical to that of a US nickel ($.05) coin. I laid one of the earrings on top of a nickel coin, and when I lined up the bottom of the earring with the edge of the coin, the fastener wire at the top extended just a bit beyond the edge of the coin - at the open end, not the hinge end.

I like the feel of these earrings; they aren't too heavy to be comfortable to wear, but they are substantial. They present a nice profile from the front.

I've worn them a few times a week for three or four months now, with no problems at all. The fasteners seem to be a little hard to snap shut, but I like that because it means they are not likely to come unfastened accidentally. And they haven't come undone by accident, unlike other hoops with similar closures, which have sometimes been slipped open by contact with a scarf or coat collar.

I bought these for my wife for Christmas 2005. By August 2006 one of them fell apart. The gold loop is attached to the white gold loop by a very tiny and fragile weld, which broke. It was not due to any abnormally rough handling. It would have cost $50.00 to have repaired. Now they're throw-aways.

These earrings are beautifully made, look great when put on, and come at a great price. All these ingredients make a stunning value. I am a very pleased customer.

The two-toned crossover design of these hoops adds more interest and pizzazz to the standard hoop. The size is just right for me: big enough to show off the twist in the design but not so big that it is overwhelming. I also like the weight: lighter than they appear so that I don't feel like I am carrying a load on my ears. I also happen to like the hinge and snap type closure. Good looking gift box, even if it's just a gift to myself. Why not five stars? - Wish that everything that I want costs at least 10% less!

I ordered these Nov 2004 when gold was a bit less expensive. In fact, I paid less than half of what they're charging now. With the price of gold ever rising, this is still a great deal! I LOVE THEM. They have been a staple item in my wardrobe since the day I got them. I'm partial to white gold, but this blend is beautiful!

They're not too big; you can gauge the size in the photo by the ear clasp--most earrings have the same size ear clasp. (1" tall x 3/4" wide x 1/2" thick) I think they're absolutely perfect for the office and carry over very well for a special night out. I've had them polished a few times, but that's because I wear them all the time! The best thing is that they're not heavy at all. They're hollow, but they're substantial.

I read a comment from one reviewer stating that his wife's earrings broke apart. Honestly, they're welded in three places; I don't see it happening without some manhandling. I'm looking at mine now, and while they're dinged up a bit, I don't mind at all. They've been worn a lot during the past 5 years...even in Africa, Yemen, and the Middle East where I served as a Marine! (Yes, we do get to wear civilian attire occasionally depending on our duties.) Again, I love them and so will you!

I'm very pleased with these earrings. They are a good weight...they aren't so heavy that they drag at the ear, but they are substantial and a perfect size. I'd recommend these to earring lovers.

The earrings were larger and more substantial than I'd envisioned. Really nice, really a good value.
