White enamel huggie hoop earrings for women, with a genuine 18K gold plated finish over a 925 sterling silver base. Part of a 5-color enamel-inlay family (white, black, green, orange, purple), each sold as its own listing -- this is the white one. Sold as a pair, built for everyday wear.
What Makes This Different
-
925 Sterling Silver Base: Every piece starts with solid 925 sterling silver -- not brass, not zinc alloy.
-
Thick 18K Gold Plating: The gold coating is applied over the sterling silver base, for better adhesion and a richer finish than plating over base metal.
-
White Enamel Inlay: A smooth, fired-white enamel band runs around the outside of the hoop, set flush into the gold band rather than sitting on top of it.
-
Hinged Snap Closure: Opens on a small hinge near the join and closes with a click-pin -- no separate backing piece to lose or mismatch.

How to Style It
The white enamel band reads clean and graphic against the warm gold -- it pairs easily with a plain gold stud or huggie in a second piercing, and works equally well solo as an everyday anchor piece. Because the enamel is a fixed color rather than a stone, it holds its look under any light, unlike a gem that shifts with the angle.
For a curated ear, mix this with one plainer gold huggie and one smaller stud -- the white band gives the stack a focal point without adding sparkle that competes with it.
Care & Longevity
Treat this the way you'd treat any plated piece. Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray before putting the earrings on, not after. Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising -- water and sweat are the primary causes of premature plating wear. When you take them off, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove skin oils, and store them in the provided box or a soft pouch to prevent scratching. With this routine, 18K gold plating over 925 sterling silver typically holds its finish for 1 to 3 years of regular wear.
