14K Gold Hoop Earrings (Nordstrom Exclusive)

I was on the hunt for simple gold hoops with a good clasp. I saw these in the store and was concerned at first that they might be too big for casual daily wear. After walking away for 10 minutes, I came back and immediately bought them. They are beautiful and also light, so they do not weigh down my earlobes. The clasp is very secure too. I've worn these to work, out and about during the day, and for evening events. They are quite versatile.

I bought these and the gold is starting to rub off. Makes me doubt the authenticity of the “gold”. Perhaps it’s plated but the description isn’t clear.
