From the side, this earring is just a clean, straight line of silver. But as you turn your head, it opens into a long, rectangular hoop with soft, rounded corners. It's a simple shape that plays with angles and perspective.
You're looking at a pair of rectangular hoop earrings. The shape is a long, rounded rectangle, about twice as tall as it is wide. They're made from a solid, 3mm thick tube of silver polished to a mirror finish, so light catches it as a sharp, unbroken line. One end is a straight post that goes through your ear, secured from behind with a standard butterfly back. The hoop itself doesn't quite close, leaving a small gap at the top.
We make these from 925 sterling silver, which means they're 92.5% pure silver mixed with an alloy for strength. Pure silver is actually quite soft, so adding the alloy makes the earrings durable enough to hold their shape through daily wear. It's the standard for quality silver jewellery, which means you get the bright white shine of silver in a form that's built to last. We're confident in how they're made, and they come with a two-year warranty.

People choose these when they want the feel of a hoop but not the classic circle. The long, rectangular shape hangs straight down, giving you a clean, architectural line that frames the face differently. It’s a simple, modern alternative to a traditional round hoop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 925 Silver Zero-Cut Earrings tarnish over time?
Yes, all 925 sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to air and humidity. It's a natural chemical reaction. The good news is that it's not permanent and can be easily cleaned away with a polishing cloth to restore the original bright finish of your earrings.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing my Silver Zero-Cut Earrings?
You can, but we don't recommend it. Chemicals in soaps can dull the silver's finish over time, and sleeping in them can be uncomfortable or cause the posts to bend. For their longevity, it's best to take them off before showering or going to bed.
How heavy are the 48mm Silver Zero-Cut Earrings on the earlobe?
They have a noticeable presence but are designed to be comfortable for their size. The 3mm tubing is hollow, which keeps the weight down. Most people find them perfectly fine for all-day wear, but if you have very sensitive or thin earlobes, you will feel them.
What happens if I want to return my Silver Zero-Cut Earrings after trying them on?
You can return them within 30 days of receiving them for a full refund, even if you've tried them on. Just make sure they're in their original condition. To start a return, email us at returns@vanhess.ca and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label.
