We’re whooping it up for hoops this year! Why? Because, as earrings go, we think hoops are highly whoop-worthy!
Consider the hoop … it’s ideal when you’re running late and need to dash out the door. It’s a grab-and-go finishing touch that always works.
Now, consider these hoops … their inside-outside styling gives you a whole range of glorious green and puts the color right where your eyes land. Toss back your hair, twist it up, or wrap it behind your ears. No matter how you wear your hair, these beauties will shine.
Chrome diopside has several origins, but most of the finest material, and the only commercially viable deposit, is in the Republic of Sakha in Siberia, Russia. As you can imagine, production of this Siberian treasure is sporadic due to extreme winters that last more than eight months. The vivid greens of chrome diopside are a welcome alternative to rare and pricey emerald or tsavorite garnet, but it has yet to gain mainstream recognition due to its limited availability. Minor sources of chrome diopside include Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Italy, Madagascar, South Africa, and the United States.
