Tall, oval hoops of thin wire each carry one polished silver ball that rests at the bottom of the curve. The shape is simple but long, so it frames the face nicely and holds its own with a turtleneck or an evening dress.
Specifications

Why it's special
The hoops are hallmarked 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated for a bright, tarnish-resistant finish. They are nickel-free and made at our European atelier, and the thin wire keeps them comfortable despite their size.

Earring size & fit
How stone sizes look on the ear, which closures we use, and how to wear earrings comfortably all day.
Stone size on the ear
| Stone | Diameter | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 Ct | ≈ 5.2 mm | Subtle everyday sparkle |
| 1.0 Ct | ≈ 6.5 mm | Noticeable, the classic stud size |
| 2.0 Ct | ≈ 8.2 mm | Statement, catches light across the room |
For hoops and huggies: 10–14 mm hugs the earlobe, 15–25 mm is a classic hoop, 30 mm+ is a statement. The diameter is listed on each product page.
Closure types
- Friction push back: the classic stud closure: slides on, holds firmly, easy on and off.
- Screw back: twists onto a threaded post; the most secure option, great for sleeping in or for valuable stones.
- Hinged huggie latch: clicks shut around the lobe; no separate back to lose.
- Lever / English back. For drop earrings, the lever locks behind the lobe and keeps the earring hanging straight.
Comfort & care
- Hypoallergenic by default. All our posts are 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated and nickel-free, safe for sensitive ears.
- Weight matters. Under ~2 g per earring feels weightless all day; heavier drops are best for occasions.
- Keep the sparkle. Take earrings off before showering and sleeping, wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
