These aren't paper-thin hoops. They have a solid, rounded profile of 1.7mm that gives them a satisfying weight. When they catch the light, the reflection is a smooth, continuous line, not a sharp glint.
You’re looking at a pair of small, polished gold hoops against a white background. One is turned to the side, showing its perfectly uniform thickness. The other is angled to reveal the integrated clasp—a simple hinge that clicks securely into a small catch, making the circle complete. The surface is so polished that you can see a soft, liquid-like reflection of the room around it.
The core of each hoop is solid 925 sterling silver, which gives them a nice heft and keeps them from bending out of shape. We plate them in a thick layer of 14K gold for its warm, rich colour. Finally, we add a clear e-coating over the gold. This is an electrically-bonded protective layer that helps shield the finish from scratches and tarnish, which means they're more durable for everyday wear and safe for most sensitive ears.

People choose these when they want a classic hoop that’s more substantial than the super-thin, barely-there styles. The 10mm diameter hugs the earlobe nicely, but the 1.7mm thickness gives it a visible presence. It’s a solid, everyday piece that looks just as good on its own as it does in a second or third piercing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hinge on these Pure Hoops loosen over time?
No, the hinge is built to stay snug. It's a tension-based clasp that gives a distinct 'click' when you close it, so you can feel that it's secure. If you ever feel it's not as tight as it should be, the mechanism is covered by our two-year warranty.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14K gold plated Pure Hoops on?
Yes, you can. The e-coating provides an extra layer of protection against moisture and daily wear. To keep the gold plating looking its best for as long as possible, though, we suggest taking them out before sleeping or showering, as constant friction and soaps can slowly wear down the finish.
How will the 10mm Pure Hoops fit on a thicker earlobe?
A 10mm inner diameter is designed to hug an average earlobe. If your lobes are thicker, it will fit quite snugly, with very little space between the hoop and your skin. We recommend measuring from your piercing to the bottom of your lobe to see if 10mm provides enough room for a comfortable fit.
