This isn't a hoop with a snake on it. The snake's body coils to form the front of the earring itself, its diamond-set head and tail wrapping around the curve of your earlobe or helix. It's designed to sit close.
It's a small hoop made from polished 14k gold. The front half is a snake, wrapping around the curve. Its body and head are covered in dozens of tiny, pavé-set diamonds that catch the light from every angle. The back of the hoop is a smooth, high-polish band that clicks shut with a nearly invisible hinge. The whole thing is designed to look like one continuous, glittering loop when you're wearing it.
We make this hoop from solid 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it's tough enough to wear continuously and won't easily bend out of shape. The gold is also nickel-free, which means it’s a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The hinge mechanism is built to last, clicking securely into place so you don't have to worry about it coming loose. The diamonds are individually set by hand.

You'd pick this for the closure. A hinged clicker is one of the most secure and comfortable styles for a piercing you plan to leave in. It's easy to put on yourself, with no tiny pieces to lose. The snake design is detailed, but the hoop itself is small enough to hug the ear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the pavé diamonds on the Snake Earring Hoop catch on my hair or clothes?
The pavé setting on the Snake Earring Hoop is designed to be smooth, with the diamonds set low into the gold. While any textured jewellery can occasionally snag on fine knits or loose hair, the small scale and careful setting of these diamonds minimize that risk for most daily activities.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing the 14k gold Snake Earring Hoop?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in your 14k gold Snake Earring Hoop. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or get damaged by water. We recommend giving it a gentle clean with soap and water in the shower to keep the diamonds sparkling and the hinge clear of buildup.
Does the Snake Earring Hoop fit better in a helix or a lobe piercing?
The Snake Earring Hoop works well in both lobe and helix piercings, but its fit depends on your ear's anatomy. It's designed as a "huggie," so it will sit closely. Measure from your piercing hole to the edge of your ear to see if the hoop's diameter will fit comfortably.
