Gold Hoop Earrings

Hello all,
I'm looking around for 9ct Gold Hoop Earrings (plain and thin) that are around 40mm - 50mm in diameter as a Christmas gift for my mum.
It sounds like a nice simple idea, but it appears very few exist around this size.
The only ones I've managed to find is in Argos for £26.99 but in all honesty they look horribly cheap and have extremely bad reviews.
Other than that I can only find F Hinds 50mm pair for £125 but they aren't available until mid-january.
I am at panic stations now as its only 7 days until xmas :eek: and this is a present that would really, really make her day. Please help me somebody.

I've never bought from any of these sites but did a quick search given your dimensions. The last link doesnt have a size but given the clasp size (ear lobe width) to hoop comparison I'd say it falls between 40 and 50mm.:A:A:A:A:A:A0 -

Thank you for your help. I've never ordered from these sites before hand, so I am a little wary about spending £100+ on a website i've never used before.
If possible I am trying to find a jewellers that will do the plain gold hoop earings that I can visit. I am based in Coventry, but can drive to any of the surround areas as well as Milton Keynes area as well.0 -
I think if I were you, I'd do it the old-fashioned way at this stage...........get the Yellow Pages out and phone around local jewellers!
I know these aren't exactly to your specification, but I do think they are a nice variation on the theme and a bit different.

To be honest, the cheaper the better imo just want ones that aren't going to bend or brake.
The perfect ones I found in argos were only £26.99 for 9ct gold ones but they have terrible reviews so I am staying away from them.0 -
Thanks everyone but I am sorted now. A trip to a far away town centre did the trick. That's my xmas shopping done (except something extra and random for the mrs)0 -
