These aren't just round hoops. The surface is twisted like rope, which creates a pattern of light and shadow that moves as you do. It's a simple design that has a lot of visual texture when you see it up close.
You're looking at a pair of gold hoop earrings. They're thick but not heavy, with a deep, continuous twist that spirals around the entire hoop. The surface is polished to a high shine, so the ridges catch bright highlights while the grooves stay a little darker. They're secured with a simple hinge and post that clicks shut, making the circle look almost seamless from the front. The gold is a warm, rich yellow colour.
We make these from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys like copper and zinc. The extra metals make the gold much stronger and more resistant to scratches than pure 24K gold would be, which means you don't have to be overly delicate with them. And because it's solid gold all the way through, the colour won't ever rub off or fade. It's a good choice if you have sensitive skin.

People choose these when they want a classic hoop with more character. The twisted design gives them more presence than a simple polished hoop of the same size, but they're still light enough to wear all day. They're a staple, just with a detail that makes them feel a bit more considered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the twisted design on these 14k gold hoops trap dirt or be hard to clean?
No, the grooves aren't deep enough to trap much buildup from normal wear. To clean them, you can just use a soft-bristled toothbrush with some warm water and mild soap. Gently scrub along the twists and rinse thoroughly. They'll look as good as new.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing the 14k solid gold Twisted Hoop Earrings?
Yes, you can absolutely shower and sleep in them. Because they're solid 14k gold, they won't tarnish or discolour from water exposure. The latch-back closure is also very secure, so you don't have to worry about them falling out overnight.
How do the Twisted Hoop Earrings sit on the earlobe? Are they heavy?
These hoops are designed to hug the earlobe closely or leave a small gap, depending on your piercing placement. They are hollow, which makes them surprisingly lightweight for their thickness. You'll feel them, but they won't pull down on your ear, even after a full day's wear.
What happens if I receive my Twisted Hoop Earrings and they aren't what I expected?
You can return them within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. The earrings just need to be in their original, unworn condition when you send them back.
