These 14k yellow gold hoops are cast in my studio (actually on the deck as casting needs good ventilation) from a granulated master for a limited edition series of hoops. I use fine silver for the original granulation, then make.a mold, pull a wax copy from the mold, then cast using the lost wax process with a vacuum. Granulation is a fascination and labor intensive ancient fusing process that can only be done with certain alloys which are prone to fusing. 14 k is not one of those metals. Casting allows me to make this design in hard to fuse metals.

These are lighter in weight than the Etruscan small hoops. They are the same hoop size as the small Etruscan hoops but the base and granules are smaller in an attempt to keep the price lower, but gold is pricey!

These hoops have slightly smaller granules than my other cast hoops and have a riveted hoop wire and catch with a satisfying snap.

Wearable and Elegant!
