These Michael Anthony hoop earrings are crafted in solid 14K yellow gold with all-over diamond cut texturing, a vintage Israeli-made pair that captures exactly what the MA brand was known for. The entire outer surface is covered in faceted diamond cutting, so every tiny flat catches and throws light independently — the effect in person is a constant, glittery sparkle that polished gold alone can't match. Diamond cut gold was the signature of Michael Anthony Jewelers, and this pair shows the technique at its best, with crisp, even cuts wrapping the full face of each hoop. The hoops have a rounded, slightly tapered profile that gives them a soft puffed look on the ear while the hollow construction keeps the pair light at approximately 1.64 grams total. Hinged latch backs close securely, and the wires carry clear MA, 14K, and Israel stamps. The Israel mark is a fun detail for collectors — Michael Anthony sourced some of its vintage production from Israeli goldsmiths, and these marked pieces turn up far less often than the standard domestic runs. At about 3/4 inch in diameter, they are an ideal everyday size with far more shine than their footprint suggests. Verifications:Solid 14K gold has been verified using an Auracle Gold Analyzer.
