Sterling silver hoop earrings, 2 inch, planishing hammer or your choice of texture, hand wrought, online crescent moon style

These hoop earrings are forged from a continuous, tapered length of sterling silver wire,
each pair hand wrought using hammer and anvil to shape. Designed to open and close like a spring, they twist open and self lock with a secure nesting closure. So comfortable to wear as no wires stick out to tangle your hair, your clothes, or poke you in the neck while you're on the phone.

Details;
conventional earwire
outside diameter; 2 inches (50 cm)
width at span in crescent: 4mm
925 sterling silver
available in a variety of textures and finishes

for this style of hoop, I begin with a thicker piece of silver, tapering it to keep the earrings wearable and light, yet with a nice thick crescent for a super hoop.
I also use a planishing hammer for a smoother, more contemporary look.
