Judith Ripka Sterling Silver Wide Cable Half Hoop Earrings

Trade In
Details

A bold, substantial pair of designer sterling silver half-hoop earrings showcasing Judith Ripka's signature cable motif in an unusually wide, multi-row format. Each earring forms a chunky C-shaped half hoop, its broad face filled with several parallel rows of the designer's hallmark twisted-rope cabling, framed top and bottom by smooth polished borders. The effect is rich and architectural: the closely set spiral ropes create a ribbed, woven texture that catches light along every twist, giving these earrings far more visual weight and presence than a plain hoop. The wide, slightly domed profile wraps comfortably around the lower lobe, and the half-hoop construction keeps them lightweight relative to their generous size. Craftsmanship is precise and clearly upscale, with crisp, evenly aligned cable rows, clean polished edges, and the smooth, quality finish expected of Ripka's hand-detailed sterling work; they would close with the posts and friction backs or hinged fittings typical of the style. The silver carries a warm vintage patina, with darker oxidation pooling in the deep grooves of the cabling to heighten the dimensional contrast against the brighter raised ropework and rims, a look that reads as both intentional and easily refreshed with light polishing. Condition appears very good, the cable detail remaining sharp and intact across both earrings with only the surface tarnish and minor wear expected of an estate pair. As a matched set, the wide cable half hoops deliver instantly recognizable designer style with everyday versatility, dressing up effortlessly yet substantial enough to stand alone as a statement. Collectors and fans of Judith Ripka's distinctive cable jewelry will value the bold scale, textural craftsmanship, and the elevated, timeless aesthetic that makes the brand's silver so enduringly wearable.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
