The engraved lines at the centre of the charm catch the light differently than the stones do. It’s a subtle detail that creates a secondary, softer flash of light as the earring moves with you.
This is a small, polished gold hoop with a hinge that clicks securely shut. A little round charm hangs from a loop at the bottom. The charm has a single cubic zirconia in the middle, surrounded by tiny engraved lines that radiate out like sunrays. A halo of smaller, pavé-set stones frames the entire disc, catching light from every direction.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated. That's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength, which means the hoop will keep its shape and the post won’t bend with normal wear. The stones are high-grade Cubic Zirconia, cut for maximum sparkle. Because the gold is solid and nickel-free, it won't tarnish or cause irritation, even if you have sensitive ears and leave them in for days.

This is a good choice if you want a charm earring that doesn't feel heavy. The hoop is a huggie, so it sits close and won't snag, and the charm is small enough that you'll forget you're wearing it. It adds a bit of movement and sparkle without getting in the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the Sunray Hoop Earrings seem to have two different kinds of sparkle?
The two types of sparkle come from the different surfaces on the charm. The pavé-set Cubic Zirconia stones are faceted to reflect bright points of light. The engraved sunrays on the gold create a softer, more directional shimmer as the light runs over them. This contrast is what gives the earring its depth up close.
Can I wear my 14k gold Sunray Hoop Earrings in the shower?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14k gold earrings in the shower. The gold itself won't be harmed by water. However, soap and shampoo residue can build up over time, which will dull the shine of the gold and the stones. We suggest giving them a gentle clean with a soft brush and mild soap occasionally to keep them looking their best.
Will the Sunray Hoop Earring fit in my second or third lobe piercing?
Yes, this earring will likely fit in a second or third piercing, as long as the piercing isn't too high up on your ear. It's a small huggie-style hoop designed to sit closely against the lobe. For a guaranteed fit, we recommend measuring the distance from your piercing to the bottom edge of your ear.
