This isn't a heart charm on a hoop. The heart shape *is* the hoop. It loops around the earlobe, with a small bar of three stones connecting the front and back. It's a self-contained little piece of engineering that sits right on the ear.
You're looking at a pair of small, hinged hoops. The front is a polished gold wire bent into an open heart shape. A straight, vertical bar passes through the top curve of the heart, set with three tiny, round Cubic Zirconia stones. The back of the earring is a simple gold hoop that clicks shut, securing the piece snugly to your ear. The whole surface is polished bright.
We make these from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily wear without bending out of shape. Solid gold won't tarnish or turn your skin funny colours, even if you wear them constantly. The stones are Cubic Zirconia, which are hard, brilliant, and give you that flash of light without the worry or cost of diamonds. They're securely set to stay put.
- Material: 14K solid gold
- Stone: Cubic Zirconia

You’d pick these if you love the comfort of a huggie hoop but want something more than a plain circle. The heart shape is there, but it's subtle and modern. It sits flush and won't get caught in your hair, making it a great, comfortable piece for a second or third piercing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hinged closure on the 14K gold Tender Loop Earrings loosen over time?
No, the hinged closure is designed to remain secure. We use a sturdy mechanism with a distinct click, so you know it's locked in place. With normal use, the tension in the hinge will hold up for years. If it ever feels loose, that's covered by our 2-year warranty.
Can I shower or sleep in my Tender Loop Earrings without taking them off?
Yes, you can. Because they're made of solid 14K gold, water won't damage them. They're also small and sit close to the lobe, so they're comfortable enough to sleep in. Just give them a gentle clean with soap and water occasionally to keep the stones sparkling.
Are the Tender Loop Earrings better for a first lobe piercing or a second/helix piercing?
They're designed for a first or second lobe piercing. The huggie style means they sit very close to the ear, so they might be too snug for a thicker part of the ear like the helix, depending on your anatomy. They're perfect for a primary piercing if you want something small and comfortable.
What happens if I need to return my Tender Loop Earrings?
