Each face returns light on its own, so the hoop reads as a run of separate flashes rather than one continuous gleam Ñ nearer the effect of a diamond-cut chain than of a plain polished ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of hoop earrings is 9ct yellow gold, formed from 3 mm tube with an inside diameter of 25 mm Ñ 31 mm measured across the outside, which is the figure to compare against a hoop you already own. Tube is what makes a hoop of any size wearable. The wall of the tube carries the shape and the hollow centre carries no weight at all, so the hoop stays light in the piercing even as the diameter grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 25 mm the hoop hangs clearly below the lobe and begins to swing with movement. This is the size at which a hoop starts to read as jewellery rather than as a fitting. A 3 mm tube gives the hoop a visible band of metal, with more surface to catch light and more weight in the lobe. It is the gauge to choose when you want the hoop to read as substantial rather than fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold (375)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faceted Profile Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faceted and polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9ct yellow gold is 375 parts per thousand fine gold. The alloy content makes it harder and more scratch-resistant than 18ct, which is why it has stayed the Australian standard for jewellery worn every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServicing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tube is hollow, which is what keeps the hoop light Ñ and it is also the limit of what can be done to it. A tube hoop cannot be resized, and a crushed or kinked section generally cannot be brought back, so store hoops where they cannot be compressed or sat on.
