Customer Reviews: White Gold Crossover Hoop Earrings

Bookmark and Share
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 never understand how gold is priced here in US.. Back in India we always pay for gold based on the actual weight of gold in the jewelery. I always find gold jewelery overpriced here..

Take the example of these earrings. They weigh 4 grams and it is 14k gold.
So the actual weight of gold is 4* (14/24) ~ 2.334 gm . The remaining 1.666 gms is usually made of metals like copper which are practically worthless.

Price of gold today ~ 37$
So, the price of gold in these earrings ~ 86.4$

Taking into consideration the design and charges for making the earrings let us add another 50$. If it is a huge necklace with intricate designs may be cost of making will be high, but these are simple earrings. Still the total is under 150$. So, what I wanted to say is I think these are totally overpriced. I don't even understand how the actual price is shown as 808.00$ and after 558$ discount we still have to pay 250$.
All in all, I liked the design of these earrings but I will not pay 250$ for them. But thats just me!!!
