Have you ever thought about the goose who laid golden eggs? No one said they were "gold" eggs. So were they just the color gold? If they were actual gold, that poor goose was probably in a significant amount of discomfort. I mean goose eggs are pretty big, and gold is pretty heavy. That's why you'll love these golden hoop earrings. They are a gorgeous gold for, and they are super lightweight and comfortable. Don't be a goose. Get these earrings.
