English term or phrase: dress the look up or down
Tiny clear Swarovski crystals are set along a thin, flexible silver hoop to create this timeless look! Hoop features a high quality brass core, which allows the hoop to be stretched open easily without the crystals falling off. Because of its flexibility, there's no need to worry about these getting snagged on something and being yanked out!

You will love having these hoops as part of your jewelry collection! Not only are they incredibly lightweight for hours of comfortable wear, but they can be paired with everything! ***Dress the look up or down*** with your necklaces and bracelets for different looks.
