Add a grace note to any ensemble with this pair of 14 karat white gold oval hoop earrings. Expanding to a fat oval below your lobe, these earrings have a flat, polished edge. They're a wonderful accent to delicately stylish evening wear. White gold is alloyed with a mix of nickel, zinc, copper, tin, and manganese to provide its luminous white color. It was originally developed to replace platinum during World War II. With 14 karat yellow gold, the jewelry is composed of 58.3% gold (or 14 parts gold to 10 parts metal alloy).
