This is a very beautiful and delicate 14k Gold Filled flower tragus ring. This can be a perfect gift for you or your loved one! The listing is for ONE hoop (not for a pair). The wire ends were rounded and polished to provide you with a smooth end for insertion. The earring was then polished. To open the ring gently twist the ends sideways, slip into the hole and then gently twist the ends back for a continuous hoop.
