These aren't hoops, they're studs. The open circle sits right on your earlobe, framing the piercing itself. The empty space in the middle makes them feel really light and open, even with the solid gold.

You're looking at a pair of open-circle studs. Each one is a perfectly round, continuous ring of polished gold. They aren't flat; the wire has a rounded, tubular profile, so light catches on the curve and creates a bright, unbroken highlight. The finish is a smooth, high polish with no texture, which you can see in the clean reflections.

We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. Your earrings are 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys. That's the sweet spot for colour and strength, which means they're tough enough to resist bending or denting from daily wear. It also means the gold colour is there for good; it won't rub off. Because there's no nickel in our 14K gold alloy, they're a safe bet for sensitive ears.

People pick these when they want the look of a hoop but the ease of a stud. They don't dangle or get caught in your hair, they just sit right on the lobe. It's a simple, geometric shape that works with pretty much any other jewellery you're already wearing.
