……………………..The HOOP EARRINGS have arrived…….a month early I might add. These were due in Nov. so I am very pleased they are already here………The story………….There are many times when I put the outfits together that I will be presentation on my QVC shows, and I’m accessorizing them that I do not have an AVAILABLE earring to use. I then reach for the old Demi Hoop or the Chubby Hoop or one of the earrings that came with a necklace that is no longer avail. I thought if I’m having this problem, and I have ALL of the earrings, then so are many of you!………….So, I created, what I believe to be is the perfect HOOP. I took the hammered hoop earring that went with the Scythe necklace and modified it. First I made it smooth so it goes with everything. Then I broadened the bottom ever so slightly so it would have more presence on the ear. The hammered hoop reflected the light do to the hammering so it already had a lot of presence, but the hammered effect limited, IMO, what you could wear it with. This new version is more UNIVERSAL, and can be worn with everything. The shape of the earring is ELLIPTICAL, meaning it has move of an oval shape instead of a round. It sits closer to the face, and has a more classic look. The round hoop always looks more ethnic to me……..I know there are so many of you who do not have pierced ears so I knew these earrings HAD TO BE OFFERED IN A CLIP ON VERSION TOO!………Now, how could I solve the problem of doing ALL of the colors I needed! I came up with the idea of doing TWO SETS of FOUR COLORS, and offering them in a GIFT BOX, each earring in its’ own separate BLACK ORGANZA POUCH……………I am offering to you……”THE CLASSICS”, J387779, which consists of SILVER TONE, GOLD TONE, CHOCOLATE and SHINY BLACK. These are the four “classic” colors I always use. Again, they will be offered in pierced and clip……………..”THE EXOTICS”, J387781, is the second group of earring colors. They are GUNMETAL, COPPER OX, BRASS OX, and SILVER OX. Again,these are the metal finishes I use most of the time………………I hope with these sets, EIGHT EARRINGS in total, you will never have to ask yourself, “what earring am I going to wear????”…………I also decided to put them in a gift box, because I thought they would make the PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT. They are classic in shape and size, 1 1/4 inch long and 1/4 inch wide at the bottom tapering to the top. These would be perfect for your mothers, daughters, sisters and best friends. That person who you never know what to get for would love these problem solving earrings, and they are all packaged for you!………..Now I will never have a problem of what earring to put with necklaces like the CARNIVAL necklaces…..GOLD, CHOCOLATE and GUNMETAL coming right up!……………..I only hope I don’t loose any taking them back and forth to QVC!…..LOL…………………………………………..Happy Holidays…………………….much Love……………Louis
