These hoops and ear wires are made from deadsoft copper wire and were lovingly embellished with loops and swirls to create a look of organized chaos. The hoops themselves including the bail measure just past 3 inches in length and including the ear wire are 4 inches long and are 2.5 inches in diameter so perfect for folks who like larger hoops. Copper will naturally darken over time. These will be sanitized but please sanitize again before wear and folks with copper allergies be aware!
