Beautiful and comfortable small hoops made from solid 14k yellow gold or solid 18k yellow gold. These hoops are designed to be placed in your piercings and left there as long as you like--even while sleeping and showering! Sold in pairs (2 hoops). Available in extra thin 24 gauge or standard 22 gauge. These hoops are hypoallergenic (NO nickel or lead). Both gauges are perfect for new piercings and sensitive ears. They are so comfortable you won't even know they are there.
These hoops are handmade by me and my employees. They are forged by hand, rough edges removed, polished by hand and machine for eye-catching shine. Listing is for one pair of hoops (two individual hoops) in either solid 14k yellow gold, or solid 18k yellow gold.
Choose your preferred gauge (thickness):
* 24 gauge - extra thin and lightweight
* 22 gauge - standard thickness
Choose your size:
* 8mm or 1/4 inch (inside opening is 6.5-7mm)
* 10mm or 3/8 inch (inside opening is 8.5-9mm)
* 12mm or 1/2 inch (inside opening is 10-11mm)
*How do I know what size I should order?
Every ear and piercing is different. Fit depends on genetics (size and shape of ear lobe) and not age. Some people have tiny earlobes, some have larger thicker earlobes. When in doubt go with the 10mm size. 8mm is best for cartilage or second (+) piercings. Or if you want space between your ear and the hoop, go with the 12mm size.

*Are the hoops easy to put in?
These hoops are tiny and delicate. The photos were taken with a macro setting. Because of their tiny size, they can be a little tricky to get in your ears. It is best to put them in when you aren't rushed and have time and patience to work with them.

💛 WHY 14K SOLID GOLD MATTERS
14k solid gold is a popular choice for fine jewelry thanks to its balance of durability and beauty. Made with a higher percentage of alloyed metals than 18k gold, it offers added strength and resistance to everyday wear. Valued for its warm gold tone and long-lasting nature, 14k gold is ideal for jewelry meant to be worn often while still being considered heirloom quality with proper care.
💛 WHY 18K SOLID GOLD MATTERS
18k solid gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold, giving it a richer, deeper gold color and a luxurious feel. Prized for its purity and luminous warmth, 18k gold has been used in fine jewelry for centuries. While slightly softer than 14k gold, it is cherished for special pieces and heirloom designs where color, rarity, and traditional craftsmanship are most valued.
