    Hoop Earrings: Your Questions, Answered

    What's the difference between hoops and huggies?

    Hoops hang lower and move with you, while huggies sit snug against your earlobe. Hoops make more of a statement; huggies are the everyday, sleep-in option. Love both? Pair a small hoop with a huggie for an easy stack.

    Are your hoop earrings good for sensitive ears?

    We choose our materials for sensitive skin. Our titanium styles are nickel-free ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, our stainless steel styles are hypoallergenic and recommended for fully healed piercings, and our Weightless hoops come in 14k gold-fill and sterling silver. Every product page lists its exact materials, and we publish our third-party testing and mill certificates.

    Are lightweight hoop earrings comfortable?

    Yes! Our lightweight and Weightless hoops are designed to feel barely there, so they won't tug on your earlobes, even in larger sizes.

    Can you sleep in hoop earrings?

    Smaller locking hoops are comfortable to sleep in, since they close securely and have nothing to poke you. For larger hoops, we recommend taking them off at night, or switching to huggies for 24/7 wear.

    Are gold hoop earrings real gold?

    Our Weightless hoops come in 14k gold-fill, a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal. Our locking hoops come in a gold PVD finish, and we have 14k gold options available as well.
