When I first held a pair of Ippolita Classico Small 18K Yellow Gold Hammered Hoop Earrings, I was struck by their remarkable lightness.
“You barely know you’re wearing them,” Ippolita herself often says about her signature designs. These hoops aren’t just jewelry; they’re wearable art, each marked by the hand of an Italian artisan. They embody understated elegance—perfect for elevating everyday style without overwhelming it.
The Artistry Behind Ippolita Classico Collection
Rooted in centuries of Italian goldsmithing, the Classico Collection reflects timeless elegance infused with subtle modernity. Each design feels classic yet fresh, making it perennially relevant.
The Signature Hammered Technique
The hand-hammered finish defines the collection, creating luminous surfaces that capture light in ways mass-produced pieces cannot. No two pairs are identical, giving each hoop its own personality.
Celebrity Endorsement
From red carpets to casual brunches, celebrities often choose Ippolita pieces for their ability to balance sophistication with everyday wearability.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: Made in Italy
Traditional Italian Goldsmithing
Crafted in Italy, each pair reflects generations of artisanal expertise, preserving a tradition where jewelry is treated as art.
The Hand-Hammering Process
The subtle hammer marks are created entirely by hand, forming microfacets that shimmer with movement. This technique ensures that every pair is unique.
The “18K EF” Hallmark
Each piece bears the “18K EF” stamp, guaranteeing authenticity, material integrity, and the use of genuine 18K gold.
Quality Control Excellence
Before leaving the workshop, every pair undergoes rigorous checks for finish, durability, and closure security—ensuring beauty and longevity.
Design Features That Set These Hoops Apart

The Perfect Weight: Lightweight Luxury
Unlike many gold earrings, these are deliberately engineered to be featherlight. They rest comfortably on the ears all day, preventing stretching or fatigue. Wearers often describe them as having a “barely there” feeling—luxury that feels effortless.
