From the side, this hoop is just a clean, solid line of gold. It’s only when you turn your head that you see the full circle. That simple profile is what gives it a very clean, finished look against the skin, without any fuss.
You're looking at a pair of hoops, one shown from the side and one from a slight angle. The surface is high-polish 14k gold plate, so it catches a clean, sharp line of light. From the front, it's a classic oval hoop. From the side, it's just a solid, straight line. There’s a small hinge at the top for the closure, designed to blend right into the circle.
The foundation is solid 925 sterling silver, which gives these hoops a satisfying weight so they hang correctly. We plate them first with rhodium for durability, then with a thick layer of 14k gold for its characteristic warm yellow colour. Finally, the whole earring is sealed with a clear e-coating. This extra step helps protect the gold from scratches and oils from your skin, which means they'll keep their polished finish much longer. It’s a multi-layer process, but it’s how you make plating last.
- Material: 14k gold plating, rhodium plating, and e-coating on a 925 sterling silver base
- Closure: Hinged post
- Inner Diameter: 21mm
- Tube Width: 2mm
- Sold as: A pair
These hit a sweet spot in size. At 21mm, they're large enough to be clearly visible and frame your jawline, but they're not so big that they get in the way. The 2mm tube is also substantial enough to look solid, without feeling heavy on the lobe all day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hinge on the Timeless Large Hoops loosen over time?
The hinge is designed to remain secure with a distinct 'click' when closed and shouldn't loosen with normal use. We use a sturdy mechanism built into the 925 silver core. If you ever feel the closure isn't as tight as it should be, it's covered by your two-year warranty.
Can I shower or sleep in my 14k gold plated Timeless Hoops?
We recommend taking them off before showering or sleeping. While the e-coating provides great protection, constant exposure to water, soaps, and pressure from sleeping can wear down the gold plating over time. Removing them is the best way to maintain their high-polish finish.
Are the 21mm Timeless Large Hoops heavy on the earlobe?
No, they are designed to be comfortable for all-day wear. The 925 sterling silver construction provides the look of a solid hoop without the weight. At 2mm wide and 21mm in diameter, they have presence but won't pull on or stretch your piercing.
