We made these for a customer and we are considering running them as a regular product - what do you guys think?

I thnik they are a great idea.
You can have a series of them in different pearls, different colors, different sizes.
I think those small hoops are by far the most comfortable earring finding.

I love them. I like the idea of being able to interchange the pearls.

I love them also. Great hoops (I much prefer dangles to posts) and the ability to swap out charms is always nice. I personally would be more tempted by them if the pearls were baroques, but I am probably in a minority there...

Gorgeous design! Very modern. I also like the idea of having different pearl charms.

What sort of mechanism holds them together? They do not appear to have a latch on the back.

Hoops that do not have a latch often are hollow tubes with a wire on one end. The wire goes through the ear and the hoop is flexed to allow the wire to enter into the lumen of the tube behind the ear. I personally prefer the latch style because I often poke myself with the wire on the type I describe But Kevin will have to say if that's what these are since the functional part is hidden in the photo...

I just received similar hoops with diamonds from Bangkok. I can wear the hoops without pearls or with any set of the pearls I have. I really like them.

They're pretty and I like them, as long as they snap closed easily. If you have to tweak them into an opposing opening, I wouldn't wear them.

It would be nice if you offer hoops in 2 sizes: large & small. I personally do not wear large hoops. If not too big, they would still look good for office settings, at least for me. I like the versatility of switching to different pearls.

I really like that design. I wear dangles, hoops, not post earrings so this would fit my style. I think that having several different options for the pearls would be great. Add the pearls as we buy different strands, drops, etc. I am with Boo, I have a lot of baroque pearl strands and would like to have some baroque pearl choices.

My girlfriend likes dangle earrings and has been looking for additional pearl earring designs - I think she would love these - please be sure to tell everyone on PG when/if you launch this as a regular item or monthly special so we can take advantage. Are the hoops 14k white gold? or Silver? Thanks for showing these!

Kevin

Loops are very nice, I have a pair with 3 different CFWP:s from PP in 14K gold, they are very pretty, unfortunately I have holes in my ears that were the wrong angle when I got them so now any loops are not going paralell with my earlobe but "stand out" toward the sides, which makes them impractically. If you could use both loops and perhaps the type of Leverback PP has, that would also be very versatile and leave everyone a choice. Any loop should have a latch, otherwise it would be quite difficult to shut them (especially when one is in a hurry).
