I recently picked up a pair of cheap “gold” hoops and I’ve loved wearing them as an alternative to pearls, so I want to get a less cheap pair. (The cheap pair was $5.) Any reason I shouldn’t get this pair? http://www.costco.com/Yellow-Gold-Polished-Hoop-Earrings.product.100079924.html Any other suggestions?
I would get a pair,tho I have seen better than these sold on 47th street for about $75, also new. If you are in NYC, or can get to 47th Street, I recommend that you forgo Costco, which is mainly good for bulk food and toilet paper, and just stroll down between 5th and 6th where you will find multiple places that do not sell the cheap $5 you probably got on the street.
Gap Outlet, but thanks!
Those are pretty cute! I’d never turn my nose up at Costco (Kirkland4life) but I’ve been trying to move away from mass-market jewelry purchases and buy more things that are handmade. That’s just me, though, and if you like them, buy them!
