- What are Miyuki beads?
- Miyuki is a Japanese glass seed bead brand known for very uniform size and shape. That evenness keeps the pattern on these hoops regular and the color from fading.
- Are these solid gold?
- No. They are gold plated, so a layer of gold sits over a base metal. Plating is lighter and less expensive than solid gold but can wear over time.
- How should I care for beaded hoops?
- Keep them away from water, perfume and hairspray, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth. Store them flat so the hoops don't bend and loosen the beads.
- Are they heavy to wear?
- Gold plated hoops with glass beads are generally lighter than solid gold hoops of the same size. The weight depends on the hoop's diameter and thickness.
- Do they make a good gift for a mother?
- Yes. The handcrafted look and turquoise-and-gold color suit gift giving, and the hoops are easy to wear with everyday outfits.
