Most hoops are round. We started with that classic shape and folded it, creating a sharp, defined V at the bottom. It has the comfort of a hoop but with a point that draws the eye right to the jawline.

You're looking at a pair of V-shaped hoop earrings. One is turned sideways to show its profile—a clean, solid bar of gold. The other faces forward, showing the distinct V-point at the base. It has a high-polish finish, so light creates long, unbroken reflections down each side. The closure is a hinge, set near the point, which makes the front look like one continuous piece when it's closed.

These are made from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength. What this means in practice is that the colour won't fade or chip away over time. It also means they're durable enough for daily wear, so you don't have to be overly precious with them. And since 14K gold is hypoallergenic for most people, it's a solid choice if you have sensitive skin.

People choose this earring because it’s a geometric take on a classic hoop. It sits close to the lobe like a huggie, but the V-point extends just below it, creating a sharp, clean line. It's less common than a round hoop, so it feels a little more considered and specific.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the point on the V1 Earring poke my neck or get caught on clothing?

No, the point on the V1 Earring is designed to sit comfortably just below your earlobe without poking you. The earring is small and sits close to the ear, so while the point is defined, it's very unlikely to snag on high-collared shirts or scarves.

Can I shower or sleep in my 14K gold V1 Earrings?

Yes, you can shower and sleep in your solid 14K gold earrings. Because they're solid gold, not plated, they won't tarnish or discolour from contact with water. We do suggest taking them out occasionally to clean off any soap or product buildup to keep the hinge working smoothly.

How will the V1 Earring fit if I have thicker earlobes or a higher piercing?

The V1 Earring is a huggie style, designed to sit closely around the lobe. If you have thicker lobes or your piercing is placed higher up, it might be a snug fit. We recommend measuring from your piercing to the bottom of your lobe to ensure there's enough room for the V-shape to hang freely.

What happens if I get the V1 Earrings and they don't fit or I change my mind?

You can return the earrings within 30 days of receiving them for a full refund or exchange. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll provide you with a prepaid shipping label. We just ask that the earrings are in their original, unworn condition.
