Florence Hoops Exclusive Simons X Midi34 Collection

Verified claims

Silhouette

Open semi-circle creates a lighter, more contemporary silhouette than full-circle hoops.

Wear

The push-back closure stabilizes the 3 cm semi-circle so it stays oriented and gives a refined presence.

Finishes

The earring comes in silver and gold options, allowing matching to cool or warm metals.

Price comparison

At $59, gives 3 cm diameter vs Mejuri's $88 Midi Hoops at 2.1 cm.

Base metal

Sterling silver core stays attractive if gold wears and supports replating.

Exclusivity

Exclusive Simons x Midi34 partnership since 2019, sold only at Simons.

Hoop gauge

The hoop is an estimated 1.5–2 mm thick, making it lightweight with a dainty, architectural look.

Scratch resistance

The 14k gold plating resists micro-scratches, preserving the finish despite the thin gauge.

Color effect

Silver and gold finishes provide cool and warm face-framing tones.

Design versatility

Stones-free hoop in silver or gold; 3 cm fits day or night.

Wearability

Thin gauge and push-back closure keep earrings comfortable and in place.

Provenance

Part of an exclusive Simons and Midi34 capsule collection.

Closure

Easy removal but tension fades over time; retightening maintains grip.

Shape stability

Push back closure prevents hoop rotation, keeping the circular silhouette.

Metal style

The minimalist hoop design lets metal color set the tone: silver is cool and contemporary; gold is warm and classic.

Durability

The 14k gold plating resists micro-scratches; if it wears, the silver core remains attractive.

Design heritage

Quebec-origin earrings from an ongoing Midi34 x Simons collaboration launched in 2019.

Origin

Midi34 is Quebec-based and designed in Canada.

How the price compares to similar hoops

• At $88 USD (roughly $120 CAD) for a ~2.1 cm diameter, Mejuri's iconic Midi Hoops define the benchmark for minimalist gold vermeil hoops; the Midi34 Florence Hoops deliver a larger 3 cm diameter in the same 14k gold-plated sterling silver at $59 CAD, making them a noticeably better value per centimeter and an accessible entry point for a similar everyday look.
• For buyers weighing a single purchase against multiple plated pairs, Mejuri's 10k solid gold Small Hoops start at £88 (~$150 CAD) — over 2.5x the cost of these plated hoops — illustrating that the Florence Hoops trade long-term permanence for accessible price, making them a safer first foray into the gold-hoop aesthetic without the commitment to solid metal.
• Generic 14k gold-plated sterling silver hoops from brands like Argentia by Seizmont retail for $59.90 CAD, proving that $59 is the going rate for the material alone — but the Midi34 version adds a dedicated designer collaboration, Canadian design provenance, and a push-back closure that many generic alternatives forgo for cheaper friction posts.

Gold plating durability and daily wear

• 14-karat gold's alloy content — roughly 41.7% copper and silver — makes the plating physically harder than 18K gold, so it resists micro-scratching better and maintains a uniform surface longer under daily contact.
• When the gold eventually wears, the 925 sterling silver core reveals a muted silver tone that still reads as fine jewelry — unlike brass-based plating which turns greenish — and the piece is structurally worth replating, keeping it in rotation indefinitely.

How secure the push back closure is

• At 3 cm diameter in gold-plated sterling silver, the earrings are light enough that a properly tensioned butterfly back can hold them securely during typical wear — the low weight means sudden pull-out is rare, and the primary risk is the slow friction loss described above, making these appropriate for daily use with occasional checks.
• The push back trades the foolproof security of threaded screw backs or locking La Poussette backs for instant, one-handed application — a deliberate choice that aligns with the Florence Hoop's role as an easy-to-wear $59 fashion piece that is more likely to be changed out than worn continuously, where convenience outweighs the need for maximum loss protection.
• The push back closure uses spring-tensioned metal wings that grip the post; each removal cycle flexes the wings, and after hundreds of on/off cycles the metal fatigues, reducing grip force — a loose back that slides on with no resistance needs retightening or replacement to prevent loss.
• If the back becomes loose, gently squeezing the two metal loops toward each other with fingertips or fine pliers restores tension in less than a minute; avoid over-squeezing on sterling silver, which can snap or permanently deform, and replace backs that remain loose or appear bent.

What the Simons x Midi34 collaboration means

• All Simons x Midi34 pieces are sold exclusively at Simons — they aren't available through Midi34's own website or other retailers, so the earrings function as a proprietary product for the department store's jewelry assortment rather than a widely distributed brand item.
• Midi34 is a Quebec-based brand and the earrings are designed in Canada, making the collaboration with Simons — a Canadian retailer founded in Quebec — a local design product with regional authenticity rather than an imported private-label accessory.
• The Simons x Midi34 partnership launched in 2019, making the Florence Hoops part of a multi-year exclusive collaboration rather than a one-off seasonal tie-up — the relationship is established, signaling consistent quality and ongoing design dialogue between the two brands.
• The collaboration is framed as a 'capsule minimaliste, délicate et hautement convoitée' — a minimalist, delicate, and highly sought-after capsule — so the Florence Hoops are positioned as a curated fashion piece with a limited-run feel rather than a core-line staple, which affects availability and restock frequency.
