Gold bali earrings – known as hoop earrings in English – are among the most widely worn gold earring styles in India. Bali (also spelled baali) refers to the small circular hoop design that loops through the ear piercing. From a thin 1g daily-wear pair to a broader 8g pair with stone inlay, bali earrings are versatile across age groups.
At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.
