The hoop earring, a timeless shape
A hoop is an earring shaped like a full or near-full circle, closed with a hinge or a snap-fit system. Unlike a stud, it catches the light and moves slightly with your head, making it more noticeable without being flashy. It's the most worn style among men looking for a simple, recognisable piece that's easy to style.
Which diameter to choose based on your lobe
Diameter changes the look of the piece a great deal. Here are the benchmarks we give our customers most often.
- 8 to 10 mm: a discreet hoop, suited to a thin lobe or professional settings.
- 12 to 16 mm: the most versatile size, visible without being imposing.
- 18 mm and up: a wide, bold hoop, designed for larger lobes or for making a statement.
If in doubt, go for a medium diameter, neither too discreet nor too flashy.
Silver steel or black steel, which colour to choose
Our hoops come in two main finishes, achieved through surface treatment on the stainless steel.
| Colour | Look | Recommended pairing |
|---|---|---|
| Silver steel | Bright, classic look | Silver rings and chains |
| Black steel | Darker, bolder style | Biker, gothic or minimalist black looks |
Both finishes keep the same qualities. They don't turn the skin green and keep their shine with minimal upkeep.
How to wear and care for your hoop every day
The hoop can be worn alone for an understated style, or paired with a stud on the other ear for a more elaborate look. For care, a simple rinse in lukewarm soapy water is enough to keep the stainless steel shining. Dry the piece with a soft cloth after each cleaning.
Solo, paired or with a pendant: styles to know
There are several ways to wear a hoop depending on the look you want.
- A single thin hoop, for a minimalist style that's easy to wear every day.
- Two identical hoops, one on each ear, for a symmetrical, bolder effect.
- A hoop paired with a pendant or a cross, to add movement and character.

FAQ
What hoop size should I choose for a first earring?
For a first piece, a medium diameter between 10 and 14 mm remains the easiest to pull off day to day. It's visible enough to be noticed without drawing too much attention. You can then move up to a wider size once you're used to wearing it.
Does stainless steel cause allergies?
The stainless steel used in our jewelry is a material reputed to suit sensitive skin. It doesn't release nickel on contact with the skin and won't tarnish or turn green over time, even worn every day, in the shower or the pool.
Can you sleep with a hoop earring?
Yes, hoops are generally fine to wear at night thanks to their secure closure, which limits snagging. For a fresh piercing, however, it's best to wait until it's fully healed before sleeping on it. Once the piercing has settled, wearing it at night isn't an issue.
