From the front, they’re a clean line of gems. But from the side, you see the open gallery setting—a latticework of silver that lets light through from every angle. It's like getting two different designs in one earring.
These are small, oval-shaped hoops, not perfectly round. The front half is set with a continuous row of small, brilliant-cut Cubic Zirconia. The back half and sides aren't solid; they're an open, web-like gallery of polished silver that lets you see the pointed base of each stone from the inside. The closure is a simple hinged post that clicks securely into a catch on the back of the hoop.
We make these from 925 sterling silver, which means they're 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength and durability. It’s a solid, reliable metal that holds up to daily wear and is generally kind to sensitive ears. The stones are high-grade Cubic Zirconia, cut with the same precision as diamonds to maximize sparkle. We set them into an open gallery, which isn't just for looks—it allows light to enter the stones from behind, making them appear even brighter.

Most small hoops are round. The oval shape of these is different—it follows the line of your earlobe more naturally, especially if your piercing is a little lower or stretched. They don't pinch; they just hang with a bit more length than a typical huggie.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 925 silver on these Tennis Hoop Earrings tarnish or turn my skin green?
No, 925 sterling silver will not turn your skin green. It can, however, tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture, developing a darker patina. This is completely normal and can be easily cleaned off with a polishing cloth to restore the original bright finish.
Can I shower or sleep in my silver Tennis Hoop Earrings?
Yes, you can sleep in them, as the secure spring lock won't poke you. We'd recommend taking them off before showering, though. While a quick rinse is fine, prolonged exposure to water, soaps, and shampoos can dull the Cubic Zirconia and accelerate the silver's natural tarnishing process.
How will these small oval hoops fit if I have thicker earlobes?
These hoops have an inner clearance of about 1.8cm from top to bottom, which fits most first and second lobe piercings comfortably. The oval shape provides a bit more vertical space than a round hoop of a similar size, but if you have very thick lobes, we suggest measuring from your piercing to the bottom of your earlobe to be sure.
