Simple and beautiful, these tiny 1/2" sterling hoops are a wardrobe staple! This version of these hoops is hammered for a bolder "face" of the hoop. They stay put and are very comfortable, but are easy to take on and off. I used to fumble with the clasps on small hoops, but no clasp is required with these hoops - you simply insert the earring from the back of your ear, and pull it through until the loop stops at your ear. It looks like a full hoop, but is much, much easier to wear. This 1/2" size also makes a great basic hoop for a 2nd piercing. I will make these with 20 ga. hammered wire, which is a better fit for the majority of people. Thicker 19ga or 18ga is available upon request for no extra charge, however be aware that the hammering does make the earring effectively a little wider around than you might expect. Also note that Fine silver is offered, but it is VERY soft in this style, so it will need to be treated extra gently to retain it's shape. Note that the 2nd and 3rd photos show the gold-filled version of these hoops, available here: ___ OPTIONS: • Available in other sizes; contact me for a custom listing! • 20ga is standard, but 19ga or 18ga (thicker) is available. Please add a note to seller at checkout to request it. • Note that Sterling Silver will tarnish; Argentium and Fine Silver are tarnish-resistant (though not tarnish-proof). • Note that Fine silver will stay MUCH softer than the others, and is not available in 19ga. • Want these in another size or material, or, just a single hoop?
