A 2005 Sibert Honor Book The story of Sequoyah is the tale of an ordinary man with an extraordinary idea--to create a writing system for the Cherokee Indians and turn his people into a nation of readers and writers. The task he set for himself was daunting. Sequoyah knew no English and had no idea how to capture speech on paper. But slowly and painstakingly, ignoring the hoots and jibes of his neighbors and friends, he worked out a system that surprised the Cherokee Nation--and the world of the 1820s--with its beauty and simplicity. James Rumford's Sequoyah is a poem to celebrate literacy, a song of a people's struggle to stand tall and proud.Binding Type: Hardcover

Simple gold colored hoops
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
I love the color of these hoops. They are a nice light gold color that is not too yellowy, and not brassy. The three hoop designs in this set are simple but pretty. I love the braided hoop, it is my favorite of the three. The largest hoop has tiny cubic zirconia stones set into the hoop. Nice idea, but they are so miniscule that you don't get any sparkle effect, and they just basically give the hoop a little more texture.
Some of them take a little more fidgeting to close properly, but the hinges on all of the pairs open and close well and seem nice and solid. They don't cause any irritation to my ears.
They come in separate cellophane bags inside an unbranded dark grey jewelry bag. I'm happy with these earrings.

Lots of variety
Color: Yellow Gold
This set of earrings are a nice set of varying sizes of hoops. Each set has a different pattern and diameter. They are are posts that the hoops hook onto so there's no backing to loose and they self lock. I find this style much easier to put on than the huggie style earrings. This is a great value and you can give this as a gift of three pairs or split up the pairs and give them as separate gifts. They come in plastic bags with no gift box.

Dainty and well-made
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
These are the perfect size for dainty stylish gold jewelry. Minimalist jewelry is really back in style and these earrings provide a great variety of options at an amazing price! I have a few pieces from Amazon essentials and I’ve been happy with every single one, they don’t turn green on my ears, and I have swam and bathed with them without any issues. I’ve had trouble with some hoops because the clasps wear out after a while, but these seem to be holding up very well. My favorite pair of the three is the chain one, it’s not the picture because I am wearing them!

Not for those with thicker earlobes
Color: Yellow Gold
This is a really cute set with perfectly sized hoops! They look so chic and can complement so many different outfits. The gold color is very nice and shiny. The only downside for me is that if you have thicker earlobes like I do these might not fit or feel very tight. Also the part that goes into your earlobe is not a regular size rod and gets thicker so if your piercing is tiny these might not be the most comfortable to wear.

These hoops are so cute! They don’t bother my ears at all. I love the size of them, and they can be casual or dressed up. They come in a cute little bags that would be good for gifting them in.
