This is a hoop that’s all about the curve. The 5mm thick tube gives it a satisfying, sculptural presence, but the open C-shape keeps it feeling light and balanced on the ear. It’s a simple idea, executed with substance.
You're looking at a pair of thick, tubular hoops made from polished 925 silver. One is positioned to show its profile—a perfect, continuous 5mm round tube. The other is angled to reveal the open C-shape and the standard stud post with its butterfly backing. The high-polish finish creates a clean, unbroken reflection of light along the curve, emphasizing its simple, geometric form.
We make these from 925 sterling silver. That number means it’s 92.5% pure silver, with the rest being an alloy that adds strength and durability. Pure silver is actually quite soft, so the alloy is essential for a piece like this, which means it won't easily bend or lose its shape with regular wear. The post and butterfly back are also 925 silver, so the entire piece is consistent in quality and safe for most skin.

People usually pick this one for its proportions. It’s a medium-sized hoop, but the 5mm tube gives it a weight and presence you don't get from thinner wires. It’s a classic shape, but the thickness makes it feel more deliberate and substantial on the ear without being oversized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 35mm Silver O-Cut Earring feel heavy on my earlobe?
They have a noticeable but comfortable weight. At 5mm thick, they're more substantial than a thin wire hoop, but the 35mm diameter distributes the weight well. Most people find them perfectly fine for a full day's wear, but if you're only used to small studs, you will feel them.
Can I shower or swim while wearing my 925 sterling silver earrings?
It's best to take them off before showering or swimming. While a quick rinse won't hurt, prolonged exposure to moisture and chemicals in soaps, lotions, or chlorine can accelerate tarnishing. Keeping them dry is the easiest way to maintain their high-polish finish and reduce how often you need to clean them.
Why does the Silver O-Cut Earring have a post back instead of being a continuous hoop?
It has a post back for comfort and ease of use. This design gives you the look of a full, thick hoop from the front while being much easier to put on and take off than a seamless 'clicker' or a wire that has to be threaded through the piercing.
