Gold Hoop Earrings
Cheap gold hoops go brown at the post within weeks, and that's the part that sits inside your ear. What you want is a gold hoop that stays gold and doesn't itch.
These are 316L stainless steel under an 18k gold plate: plain hoops from a 12mm huggie up to 55mm, and gothic hoops with a moon, a spike or a star. The steel underneath is hypoallergenic for most wearers, and it's the reason the gold doesn't go dark the way gold-coloured brass does. Sold as pairs.
20mm is the most popular size and sits just off the lobe. Hinged hoops click shut and huggies snap. Plate is a surface and eventually wears at the hinge over years, so if you'd rather never think about it, the silver hoops are the harder-wearing choice. Most people who buy one pair of gold hoops end up with a smaller pair to wear alongside.
What size hoop should I get?
Hoops are measured across the ring. 20mm is the most popular size and sits just off the lobe. Smaller hoops and huggies sit closer to the ear; 30mm and up reads as a statement. If you already own a pair you like, measure across them.
Are they hypoallergenic?
For most wearers, yes. They're 316L stainless steel, the grade used for surgical steel, so they can stay in for weeks without the itch that plated alloy causes. They're sold as pairs.
How long will the gold last?
Years rather than weeks with daily wear. It wears first at the hinge and the post, where the hoop moves. The steel underneath won't tarnish when it does.
How do they fasten?
Hinged hoops click shut, huggies snap into place, and studs have butterfly backs. None of them need a tool, and all of them stay put through a night out.
Can I shower and sleep in them?
Yes. The steel is water resistant and doesn't tarnish, so showers and swimming won't dull them. Huggies are the most comfortable to sleep in.
What do they come in?
A black velvet pouch. Where a gift box is offered you'll see it as an option on the product.
