These aren't thin, wiry hoops. They're built with a solid 2mm thickness, so the curve of the gold is what you actually see. The light catches a broad, polished surface, not just a fine line.

You're looking at a pair of small hoop earrings, about 1.2 cm across, in polished rose gold. One is shown open, revealing the hinge at the bottom and the post that snaps securely into the back. The other is closed, forming a clean circle. They're 2mm thick, giving them a solid, rounded profile that catches the light as a distinct, bright band rather than a thin wire.

We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, alloyed with copper and other metals to create the warm rose colour and add strength. Which means these hoops are durable enough to be worn constantly without bending out of shape. It also means the colour won't ever chip or fade away, because it's the same metal all the way through. And because we don't use nickel in our gold, they're a safe choice for sensitive ears.

  • Material: 14K Solid Gold
  • Hoop Diameter: 1.2 cm
  • Thickness: 2 mm
  • Sold as: A pair

The main reason people pick these is the closure. It’s a hinged post that clicks right into the hoop, which means there are no separate backings to fumble with or lose. The 2mm thickness also gives them a satisfying weight—they're sturdy, not flimsy like a thin wire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the hinge on my 14K gold Simple Small Hoop Earrings get loose over time?

No, the hinge is designed for durability. We use a sturdy mechanism in our 14K solid gold hoops that provides a confident "click" when closed. With normal use, it shouldn't loosen. If you ever feel the closure is not as secure as it should be, it's covered by our two-year warranty.

Is it safe to shower or swim with the 14K gold Simple Small Hoop Earrings in?

Yes, it's completely safe to shower with your 14K solid gold hoops. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or react to water. However, we recommend avoiding swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as harsh chemicals can slowly affect the gold's finish and the hinge mechanism over a long period.

Will the 1.2 cm Simple Small Hoop Earring fit in a second or third lobe piercing?

Yes, the 1.2 cm diameter is often a great size for second or third lobe piercings, and even some helix piercings, depending on your anatomy. We recommend measuring the distance from your piercing hole to the edge of your ear to be sure. It should be less than 1.2 cm for a comfortable fit.
