Chunky Dome Hoop Earrings 20 mm - 18k Gold-Plated

The Chunky Dome Hoop Earrings are a bold, rounded hoop with a soft, polished finish. The thick tube gives real presence, yet the hollow construction keeps each hoop light enough to wear all day. They lift a plain T-shirt instantly and look just as good with evening wear.

Each hoop measures approx. 20 mm across with a tube about 6 mm wide and closes with a hinged click-top: open the hinge, slip the post through your piercing and press it closed until it clicks. Sold as a pair.

• Approx. 20 mm diameter, 6 mm wide tube
• Hollow, lightweight construction
• Hinged click-top closure
• 18k gold PVD plating over 316L stainless steel
• Sold as a pair, sent in a sealed hygiene bag

About the metal: this piece is 316L stainless steel with an 18k gold PVD plating. It is not solid gold: PVD (physical vapour deposition) bonds a thin layer of gold-coloured coating to the steel, which is more resistant to everyday wear than a standard flash plating, but it can still wear gradually with use - faster on rings and bracelets that rub against surfaces. Because it is a base-metal piece, it is not hallmarked. Stainless steel contains a small amount of nickel bound within the alloy, so we cannot promise it will suit every metal allergy - if you have a known allergy, please check with your doctor or pharmacist before wearing it.

Care: to keep the gold colour looking its best, put your jewellery on after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off before swimming, bathing, showering, exercise and cleaning. Avoid chlorine, salt water and household chemicals. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store it on its own in the pouch provided so it does not scratch against other pieces. Do not use silver dips, abrasive polishes or chemically treated polishing cloths, as they can remove the plating.

Hygiene: for hygiene reasons, pierced earrings are sent in a sealed bag. If the seal has been opened, earrings cannot be returned for a change of mind; faulty or incorrect earrings are always covered and your statutory rights are not affected.

Delivery and returns: Free UK delivery with Royal Mail on every order. Orders placed before 3:00 PM (UK time), Monday to Friday, begin processing the same day; processing takes 1 - 2 days (Monday to Friday) and delivery a further 2 - 4 days (Monday to Friday), so most orders arrive within 3 - 6 days (Monday to Friday). Changed your mind? Return it unworn within 30 days of delivery (earrings in their unopened hygiene bag) - your statutory rights are not affected.
