The hoop stops being a hoop about halfway round. It opens into a spray of marquise stones set like petals, and a pavé teardrop hangs from the underside of that cluster, so the piece has a plain side and a busy side.

That asymmetry is the reason to pick this one. Worn so the cluster spreads towards the cheek, the plain curve sits inward, which reads better in a three-quarter photograph than a symmetrical design does.

Silver-plated brass gives the white metal colour, with clear cubic zirconia throughout. There is no silver in it, which the listing name does not make obvious, so it is worth saying here.

It fastens with a screw, so a pierced nose is needed. This is the most clearly bridal of the naths in the range, priced within reach of a piece that might only come out for a few functions.

Cluster naths hide their weight well. Marquise stones are long and light, so a spray of them looks like more metal than it is, and the piece does not drag at the piercing through a full evening.
