Questions about this piece
What earrings suit a round face?
Shapes that are longer than they are wide, so drops, elongated ovals and teardrops, because a vertical line lengthens where a wide flat stud follows the width of your face instead. Hoops land in between and it depends on how they hang: one that swings clear below the lobe gives you that vertical line, while one clamped tight to the ear does not. Plain metal helps as well, since an unbroken circle reads as a single clean shape rather than a cluster of detail sitting beside your cheek. These are the plain kind, with nothing hung off them.
Why do some earrings turn your ears green?
Copper, almost always. The base metals used under costume jewelry contain it, and when copper meets sweat, lotion or humid air it oxidizes into a compound that rubs off on skin as a green mark. That is a stain rather than an allergy, and it is a different thing from the itchy red reaction nickel causes, which is why one washes off in the sink and the other does not. A layer of gold over the base metal is what keeps skin away from the copper, so the useful habit is putting plated earrings in on dry skin after lotion and perfume have settled. These are 18k gold plated and made without nickel or lead.
How big is a 30mm hoop earring?
Just under an inch and a quarter across, since 30mm works out to roughly 1.18 inches. What that diameter buys you is a hoop that hangs clear of the lobe instead of clamping onto it, so it stays visible with your hair down and turns freely when you move your head. It also stops short of the size where a hoop starts landing on a coat collar or catching in a scarf, which is what pushes the bigger ones into going-out-only territory. This pair is a plain band at that diameter, closing with a clasp, no charm or drop added on.
