Six mini hoops in three sizes, two pairs each at 6mm, 7mm and 8mm. Each hoop is formed by hand from sterling silver wire and plated in 14k gold, with no nickel or lead in the construction.
The small diameters suit cartilage, helix, tragus, upper lobe and second-hole placements, and the backless, continuous shape also works as a nose hoop or septum ring. The wire is thin and the weight is low, so the set sits quietly through a full day or overnight.
Because the three sizes are graduated, they stack along one ear or spread across several piercings, and the plain gold finish sits easily next to other jewellery. LUCKYJEWUS is a US seller and includes a 30 day return or exchange window.
When choosing between open and closed hoop styles for cartilage or nose placements, the continuous backless design here is worth noting because it requires no clasp to fiddle with and leaves no post to press against the back of the ear. To insert it, the wire end is gently pushed through the piercing and the hoop is rotated into place, which takes a moment to get used to the first time but becomes quick with practice. For anyone new to this style, starting with the 8mm piece in a standard lobe piercing is a low-pressure way to learn the motion before moving to tighter cartilage placements.
Gold-plated sterling silver will keep its appearance longer if it is the last thing put on and the first thing taken off, since contact with lotions, perfumes and water gradually wears the plating. A small zip pouch or the original packaging is sufficient for storage, as loose hoops can scratch against each other or kink if left in a drawer. The thin wire gauge makes these a better fit for fully healed piercings than for anything fresh or still settling, and anyone with a smaller nose or tighter helix anatomy will find the 6mm option the most comfortable starting point.
