These are substantial hoops, 4.5 cm across, but they’re formed from a fine 1.6 mm wire. That contrast between the large diameter and the delicate thickness gives them a light, almost graphic quality. They define a space without filling it.
This is a pair of large, perfectly round hoop earrings. They're made from a single, continuous wire of polished 14K gold. The surface is smooth and reflective, so as you turn your head, a clean line of light travels along the curve. The closure is a simple post that slips into the hollow end of the hoop, making the circle appear nearly seamless when worn.
We use solid 14 Karat gold, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength. This is important for a large, thin hoop, as it needs to be resilient enough to hold its perfect circular shape and not bend with daily wear. Which means the warm, deep gold colour is there to stay—it won’t tarnish, flake, or rub off over time. It’s a durable material that’s also great for sensitive skin.

People pick this earring when they want the look of a big hoop without the weight. The 4.5 cm diameter makes an impression, but the fine 1.6 mm wire keeps them feeling light and comfortable on the earlobe. It’s for someone who loves a larger style but doesn’t want to be conscious of their earrings all day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14K gold of the Spanish Hoop Earrings bend easily since they're so large?
No, they are designed to be quite durable. We use 14K gold specifically because the alloy makes it much stronger than pure 24K gold. The 1.6 mm thickness provides enough structure to hold its round shape through normal wear without easily warping or bending.
Can I shower or work out while wearing my solid gold Spanish Hoop Earrings?
Yes, you can. Solid 14K gold is not harmed by water, sweat, or soaps, so you don't have to worry about them tarnishing or discolouring. For safety, though, it might be a good idea to remove large hoops during intense workouts to prevent them from catching on something.
How will a 4.5 cm hoop earring sit on someone with a shorter neck?
A 4.5 cm hoop will typically hang down to the jawline. On a shorter neck, the bottom of the earring may brush against your shoulder, which can be a comfortable and stylish look. To be sure, you can measure 4.5 cm down from your piercing to see exactly where it will fall on you.
