Solid 950 platinum hoop earrings, handmade for comfortable everyday wear. These small, lightweight platinum hoops are nickel-free and beautifully polished, making them a luxurious choice for sensitive ears, multiple piercings, and anyone who loves simple, timeless fine jewelry.
✨ SOLID PLATINUM. HANDMADE WITH CARE.
Beautifully simple and exceptionally comfortable, these petite hoop earrings are handcrafted from genuine 950 platinum—one of the rarest and most treasured precious metals used in fine jewelry.
Designed for those who prefer understated elegance, these delicate hoops can be worn day or night, including while sleeping and showering. Their minimalist design makes them perfect for everyday wear, second piercings, and creating a subtle, layered earring look.
Each pair is handmade in our studio. The platinum wire is carefully formed and forged by hand, the rough edges are smoothed, and every hoop is polished by hand and machine to create a beautiful, refined finish.

📏 CHOOSE YOUR HOOP SIZE
Select the diameter that best suits your piercing location and desired fit.
8mm (approximately 1/4 inch):
• Inside opening: 6.5–7mm
• Our smallest, most petite size
• Best suited for small, thin earlobes or appropriately positioned cartilage and additional piercings
• Creates a very close-fitting 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 good starting point for many standard earlobe piercings
• Offers slightly more room than the 8mm hoops
12mm (approximately 1/2 inch):
• Inside opening: 10–11mm
• Our largest size in this collection
• Ideal for those who prefer a little more space between the hoop and earlobe
• A beautiful option for a slightly more noticeable everyday hoop
Not sure which size to choose?
Every ear is different! Hoop fit depends on the thickness and shape of your earlobe, along with the placement of your piercing—not your age.
If you're uncertain between 8mm and 10mm, the 10mm is generally the more forgiving choice. For a looser fit or thicker earlobes, consider 12mm.

✨ CHOOSE YOUR WIRE THICKNESS
Both options are lightweight and made from the same beautiful solid 950 platinum.
24 Gauge — Extra Thin:
• Approximately 0.5mm thick
• Exceptionally delicate and lightweight
• Perfect for those who prefer an ultra-fine, barely-there appearance
22 Gauge — Standard Thin:
• Approximately 0.6mm thick
• Slightly sturdier than 24 gauge
• A lovely balance of delicate appearance and everyday practicality
Both gauges are intentionally thin. If you prefer a more substantial hoop, please keep in mind that these are designed to be petite, minimalist earrings.
💎 COMFORTABLE EVERYDAY WEAR
Platinum is a naturally corrosion-resistant precious metal that does not require plating to maintain its color.
These hoops are made without nickel or lead, making them an excellent option for many people with metal sensitivities.
Their small size and lightweight construction make them comfortable for extended wear. Many customers enjoy wearing this style continuously, including while sleeping and showering.
Please note that individual sensitivities vary. These earrings are intended for healed piercings; consult your professional piercer about jewelry appropriate for a new or healing piercing.
✨ HOW TO PUT ON YOUR HOOPS
Because these earrings are intentionally tiny and delicate, inserting them may take a little practice.
We recommend allowing yourself a few extra minutes the first time you put them on.
Gently open the hoop by moving the ends sideways, rather than pulling them apart into a wider circle. Insert the wire through your piercing and carefully guide the end back into the loop to secure it.
Avoid excessive bending, which can distort the shape of these fine-gauge hoops.

🩶 WHY PLATINUM MATTERS
Platinum is one of the rarest and most enduring precious metals used in fine jewelry.
Our hoops are made from solid 950 platinum, meaning they contain 95% pure platinum. Unlike plated jewelry, their precious metal composition extends throughout the entire hoop.
Platinum is valued for its natural corrosion resistance, lasting beauty, and exceptional durability as a precious metal. Its understated gray-white color offers a sophisticated alternative to the brighter appearance of sterling silver.
A note about platinum's natural color: Platinum has a soft, gray-white appearance that can look darker than polished sterling silver. These hoops are not rhodium plated, allowing the authentic color of platinum to shine through.
With thoughtful handling and proper care, solid platinum jewelry can be treasured for generations.
🎁 A LITTLE EVERYDAY LUXURY
These handmade platinum hoops are a beautiful choice for minimalist jewelry lovers, sensitive ears, multiple piercings, and anyone who appreciates the quality of genuine precious metals.
Simple enough for everyday wear and special enough to give as a meaningful gift, they're a timeless addition to a fine jewelry collection.
Genuine platinum. Thoughtfully handmade. Timeless simplicity.
