Hoop earrings can look quite different depending on their diameter, finish and closure. If you are comparing sterling silver hoops online, the measurements on each product page are the best place to start.
Small hoops for an everyday look
Hello Halo currently carries compact hoop styles around 13–14 mm in diameter. These sit at the smaller end of our hoop range and include plain sterling silver, French-lock and gold-plated sterling silver options.
A smaller diameter is a useful place to start if you want a neat, simple hoop rather than a larger statement style. Because ears and piercings vary, always check the listed dimensions on the individual product page before choosing.
French-lock hoop styles
Some of our smaller hoops use a French-lock closure. This gives you another option alongside our standard hoop styles, and the closure type is listed on the relevant product page so you can compare designs before ordering.
Gold-plated sterling silver still starts with sterling silver
Not every sterling silver hoop has to look silver. Our gold-plated hoop styles use confirmed 925 sterling silver as the base material with a gold-plated finish. That is why they are included in our Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings collection alongside silver-coloured styles.
When you want a larger statement hoop
At the other end of the current range, our 50 mm sterling silver hoops give a much larger look than the 13–14 mm styles. Comparing the stated diameter is the simplest way to understand the difference before buying.
Which hoop should you choose?
Start with three details: diameter, finish and closure. A compact 13–14 mm hoop gives a very different look from a 50 mm hoop, while gold plating changes the colour without changing the confirmed sterling-silver base material. For exact measurements, finishes and product-specific details, use the information on each product page.
