Lesson 1: Sizing

No two hoops are alike. A hoop’s diameter, measured in millimeters, seriously changes its entire mood and style. Compare a small, dainty hoop to a large, chunky hoop, for example—the energy could not be more different (and we wouldn’t have it any other way)!

 

Huggie Hoops 8-11mm Cuddles your ear close* Shop Huggies

Small Hoops 12-17mm Juuuust enough shine Shop Small

Medium Hoops 18-37mm You’re getting bolder Shop Medium

Large Hoops 38mm+ The star of any stack Shop Large

 

*Huggie tip: smaller sizes might not fit your first piercing if it’s placed high. Measure your hole position with a ruler (in the mirror!) to make sure it’s A-OK.

Lesson 3: Styling

 

Our stacking suggestions:

1. Generally, place your largest, most prominent hoop in your first piercing and cascade from there.
2. Jumble textures and finishes for a more dynamic look (and invite studs to the party, too)!
3. Mix silver and gold for a stunning symphony of cool and warm tones—it’s like yin and yang.
4. Add movement and shine with charms. (Extra credit: engrave them with a special memento!)
5. Opt for solid, tarnish-resistant 14k solid gold if you want to keep your hoops on 24/7.

And, of course, break any of the above rules if you so wish—we want you to do you!

 

Now onto the fun — choose your styling muse:
