Solid 14K white gold hoop earrings, handmade with a nickel-free palladium alloy for beautiful, comfortable everyday wear. These petite, lightweight gold hoops are perfect for sensitive ears, multiple piercings, and anyone who appreciates the lasting beauty of genuine fine jewelry.
✨ SOLID 14K WHITE GOLD. HANDMADE WITH CARE.
Beautifully simple and made to be worn and loved, these delicate hoop earrings are handcrafted from genuine solid 14K palladium white gold.
Unlike traditional nickel-based white gold, our white gold is alloyed with palladium instead of nickel, creating a beautiful precious metal that's a wonderful choice for many people with sensitive ears.
Each pair is carefully handmade in our studio. The gold wire is individually formed and forged by hand, rough edges are smoothed, and every hoop is polished by hand and machine to create a beautiful, refined finish.
Their lightweight, minimalist design makes them a lovely choice for everyday wear, second piercings, and layered earring looks. Many people enjoy wearing this style continuously, including while sleeping and showering.

📏 CHOOSE YOUR HOOP SIZE
Select the diameter that best suits your piercing placement and preferred fit.
8mm (approximately 1/4 inch):
• Inside opening: 6.5–7mm
• Our smallest and most delicate size
• Best suited for very small, thin earlobes or appropriately placed additional piercings
• Creates a close-fitting, petite look
• Important: This size will not fit every ear or piercing.
10mm (approximately 3/8 inch):
• Inside opening: 8.5–9mm
• A versatile petite hoop size
• A beautiful choice for many standard earlobe piercings
• Offers a little more room than the 8mm hoops
12mm (approximately 1/2 inch):
• Inside opening: 10–11mm
• Our largest size in this collection
• A lovely option for a slightly looser fit
• Provides additional room for thicker earlobes or a more noticeable hoop
Not sure which size to choose?
Every ear is different! Fit depends on your earlobe thickness, ear shape, and piercing placement—not your age.
If you're deciding between 8mm and 10mm, the 10mm size is generally the more forgiving choice. For a little more space between the hoop and your earlobe, consider 12mm.

✨ CHOOSE YOUR WIRE THICKNESS
Both options are delicate, lightweight, and made from genuine solid 14K white gold.
24 Gauge — Extra Thin:
• Approximately 0.5mm thick
• Ultra-delicate and exceptionally lightweight
• Perfect for a barely-there appearance
22 Gauge — Standard Thin:
• Approximately 0.6mm thick
• Slightly sturdier than 24 gauge
• A beautiful balance of delicate style and everyday practicality
Both gauges are intentionally thin and should be handled gently to maintain their shape.
🤍 NICKEL-FREE WHITE GOLD FOR SENSITIVE EARS
Not all white gold is created the same way.
Many traditional white gold alloys contain nickel, which can cause irritation for people with nickel sensitivities.
Our 14K palladium white gold is made without nickel. Palladium is a precious metal from the platinum family, valued for its naturally white color, corrosion resistance, and use in fine jewelry.
This makes palladium white gold an excellent alternative for many people who love the look of white gold but prefer to avoid nickel.
As with all jewelry, individual metal sensitivities can vary. These delicate hoops are intended for healed piercings.
🤍 WHY PALLADIUM WHITE GOLD MATTERS
Not all white gold is created equal.
Our hoops are handcrafted from solid 14K palladium white gold, a premium, nickel-free gold alloy containing 58.5% pure gold. Instead of nickel, palladium—a precious metal from the platinum family—is used to help create the beautiful white color.
Unlike many white gold jewelry pieces, our hoops are not rhodium plated. Their soft, naturally gray-white color comes from the precious metal itself, not a surface coating that can wear away over time.
Palladium white gold offers several beautiful advantages:
• Nickel-free: A wonderful alternative for many people with sensitive ears.
• Naturally white: No rhodium plating needed to achieve its elegant, soft white appearance.
• Solid precious metal: Genuine 14K gold throughout, never plated or filled.
• Timeless quality: Fine jewelry designed to be enjoyed for years with proper care.
The result is beautifully understated white gold with lasting value, natural color, and heirloom-worthy appeal.
✨ HOW TO PUT ON YOUR HOOPS
Because these hoops are intentionally small and delicate, inserting them may take a little patience, especially the first time.
Gently open the hoop by moving the ends sideways rather than pulling them apart into a wider circle. Insert the wire through your piercing, then carefully guide the end back into the loop to secure it.
Avoid excessive bending or twisting, which can distort the shape of these fine-gauge hoops.
