Hoop Dreams

I've been on the hunt for the perfect gold hoops for years now. My ideal pair will loop all the way around (with an unobtrusive clasp) and are neither too big or too small, and definitely have to be real gold so they won't change color or turn the side of my jaw green (this has happened). Usually I find eBay's jewelry selection so exhaustive as to be overwhelming, but if you're conducting a precise search like "gold hoop earrings," the options become considerably manageable. Right now I'm pondering both this pretty, leaf-engraved version and this perfectly simple, rose gold pair. I can see wearing either in a dressed-up or more casual way, and at these prices, I won't feel terrible when the day inevitably comes where one magically disappears.
