from 944 reviewsThis is the 3rd pair of earrings that I've bought. These are beautiful, definitely going to be wearing it a lot and it's not heavy at all. Thank you

I have had my fair share of gold hoops and these trump them all. Fabulous quality and these go with everything and compliment me so much! I just purchased a second pair as well for a friend!

I've purchased these twice, the second time as a gift. They are stunning and such great quality! They have some weight to them and are such a unique hoop!

Exactly what I was looking for not too large, not too small, a perfect classic piece. I love them. Thank you..xx

Absolutely love these earrings, they always get compliments! So beautiful!

Been wearing this necklace almost everyday for the past 2 years and it's still going strong! No fade, no break in chain or clasp. My absolute fave!!

I was very much impressed with this necklace 😍. I purchase this one and the Jamaica necklace, I just wish they had made the Jamaica necklace cute like this piece. Yes, I love this necklace!

I have to stop myself from trying to pick these every single time, simply stunning earrings! Lovely quality and sure to get compliments each time I wear them.

This item arrived in less than a week after order and did not disappoint. Exceptional quality and presentation. Not at all heavy and just the right size. Very happy with my purchase

I love this shop so much and keep an eye on it for future purchases. I have shopped here a couple of times and both times I’ve been really pleased with the quality of the products and style of them as well. Really trendy, beautiful jewellery that has a really high quality finish, doesn’t tarnish and is easy to clean. I hope to make purchases from here again in the future. Thank you Omolola!x

Lovely earrings, very classy and elegant for a night out or even every day use. Not heavy at all for the size. Would recommend.

I purchased the Faat Kine earrings for myself, but I realized that it would be the perfect gift for my sister this Christmas. I think the earrings complement her style well. The intricate design and quality are so great. And the weight of the earrings also shows the quality of the earrings. If you are a fan of hoop earrings, you should get them.

Lovely piece, I'm a fan of small pendants, nice for everyday.

It’s beautiful and it goes so well with my overall style! Your service is always impeccable
Looks beautiful on, had a few compliments when worn. The price is very good and looks alot more expensive. Hope it doesn't tarnish... so far so good when worn with care... perfume, lotion wise.
I got this necklace just a few weeks ago and it is beautiful. It glistens. Customer service was incredible and it arrived in a timely manner. I have so far avoided contact with water but it will be great to know how it does once it come into contact with water. But overall great product and will shop with the company again.
Pretty necklace , nice and bold
Amazing quality
