Starboard Hoops
Description
The Starboard Hoops | Your 14K Gold Vermeil Modern Nautical Classic
If you’ve been searching for that perfect "anchor" pair for your jewelry box, the Starboard Hoops are here to keep your style totally on course. Named for the right side of a ship, these gold vermeil hoop earrings feature a crisp, vertical ribbing that feels like a modern, chic tribute to vintage maritime gold. They have that rare, purposeful silhouette that feels entirely timeless while adding a fresh, architectural edge to your daily rotation.
We are absolutely in love with how that vertical ribbed texture catches and plays with the light every time you move. These hoops have a beautiful, substantial presence, but here’s the best part: they don't feel heavy on your ears at all. Whether you’re pairing them with a crisp white button-down for a big meeting or adding a polished finish to a silk dress for date night, they provide just enough detail to stand out without ever feeling like "too much." They’re the definition of effortless, everyday luxury.
-

-
The Fit: Approximately 3/4 inch diameter—the "Goldilocks" scale designed for easy, all-day wear.
-

Why we love it: We love how these manage to feel elevated but completely unfussy. That textured ribbing is such a smart, sophisticated detail—it’s the kind of thing that makes people stop and ask, "Where did you get those?" They’re the pair you’ll find yourself reaching for when you want to feel instantly pulled together without a second thought. They provide a polished, sculptural presence that is undeniably you.
Care Tip from the Studio: To keep your ribbed gold hoops shining like a mirror, we recommend removing them before swimming, showering, or applying your daily lotions and perfumes. A quick buff with a soft cloth will keep that high-polish finish looking brand new!

GENERAL CARE TIPS FOR ALL JEWELRY:
- Storage Matters: When not being worn, store your jewelry in a dry, air-tight container. A plastic bag is ideal for this purpose.
- Avoid Water Exposure: All jewelry is waterproof, but it’s not mineral or chemical proof. Minimize exposure to pools, saunas, and beaches. The minerals and chemicals in these environments can cause oxidation.
- Limit Contact with Products: It's best to avoid sunscreens, lotions, oils, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, body washes and perfumes. The chemical additives in these products can affect the metal's finish. It’s always best to remove your pieces if there is a possibility of coming into contact with any additives.
- Remove During Activity: To prevent damage, remove your jewelry before working out or sleeping.
- Handle with Care: Be mindful when handling your jewelry to avoid scratches or impacts.
