Product Insights
Nova Hoops by Pilgrim are 54 CAD hinged-post hoops in a coordinated Nova series with a matching bracelet, designed in Denmark since 1983 by an in-house Skanderborg studio rather than a single named designer; the core promise is convertible, circular jewelry: detachable heart charms turn one pair into either a charmed look or plain 3.5 cm silver hoops, and the entire earring including hook and post uses at least 75% recycled metals—99% recycled brass in the hoops—recovered from pre-consumer and post-industrial waste, functionally identical to virgin metal, and indefinitely recyclable. The main tradeoffs are wear and interpretation: silver plating dulls and wears first at the hinge and post before the outward curve, exposing a brass core that tarnishes warm over time; the 3.5 cm measurement is only the outer circle, not the drop or wire thickness (which must be judged from photos), with heart charms adding length below; the 35 mm hoop’s weight reads as a downward pull at the lobe rather than a gram count, and one buyer found it too heavy. The hinged post closure swings shut to avoid endless-hoop re-threading, but availability is out of stock and the single review leaves the fit and durability record thin; at $54 the value case rests on the Nova line’s brass-heavy 99% recycled brass mix, while the Nova bracelet uses a different 22% brass and 77% zinc composition.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- Designed in Denmark since 1983 by an in-house studio, not a single named designer.
- Collection
- Part of a coordinated Nova series with a matching bracelet.
- Care
- 75% recycled metals minimum; the hoops list 99% recycled brass, versus the Nova bracelet's 22% brass and 77% zinc.
- Aging
- Plating wears first at the hinge and post, revealing a brass core that tarnishes to a warm tone over time.
- Detachable charm
- The heart charms detach, so the pair also wears as plain 3.5 cm silver hoops.
- Light fit
- The 35 mm hoop's weight reads as a downward pull at the lobe, not a gram count; one buyer found them too heavy.
- Recycled sourcing
- The recycled metal is recovered from pre-consumer and post-industrial waste, not consumer scrap.
- Recycled metal integrity
- The recycled brass is functionally identical to virgin metal, so structural integrity and detailing are not compromised.
- Circularity
- The entire earring, including the hook and post, uses at least 75% recycled metals that can be recycled indefinitely.
- Hoop size
- The 3.5 cm is the hoop's outer circle, not the drop; the heart charm adds length below.
- Band width
- The 3.5 cm covers only the outer circle; wire thickness must be judged from the photos.
- Convertibility
- The heart charms detach, converting one pair between a plain hoop and a charmed look.
- Charm detachability
- The heart charms detach, leaving a plain 3.5 cm hoop for a second look.
- Closure
- Hinged post closure swings shut, avoiding endless-hoop re-threading
- Hinge wear
- Silver plating dulls at the hinge and post before the outward curve
- Brand heritage
- Pilgrim has designed jewellery in Skanderborg, Denmark since 1983
- Detachable charms
- Detachable heart charms give each hoop a plain or charm look
- Design lineage
- Designed in-house in Denmark by a label making jewellery since 1983.
- Value
- At $54, the pair uses 99% recycled brass, the Nova line's brass-heavy mix.
- Styling
- Detachable heart charms let one pair work as a plain hoop or a charm hoop.

| Nova Hoops: Choose this if you want small silver-plated hoops with a decorative twist: each 3.5 cm earring has a thin rounded hoop (15 mm in diameter) suspending a slightly hammered, irregular heart charm with high-contrast reflective shine. They're made largely from recycled metals (listed as 75% recycled metals with 25% mixed metals; the brand describes the plated material as 99% recycled brass), come in one size, and close with a hinged post designed for pierced ears only. The dangling heart charm gives them a distinct charm-style look rather than a plain hoop silhouette.[1,2,3] | Large Minimalist Hoops: Choose these if you want a statement hoop: a large, thin 6 cm diameter circle with a smooth polished finish, made from a minimum of 75% recycled materials and, per the brand, plated in either 18k solid gold or sterling silver. They come in one size with long post closures that fit into a short tubular sleeve, in Silver or Assorted color options, though the page does not specify which plating corresponds to which color variant.[4,5,6] | Large Tubular Hoops: Choose these if you want a bold statement hoop: the large tubular design measures 3.5 cm (60 mm) in diameter with a highly polished, high-gloss finish, and comes in gold-plated or silver-plated colorways made from a minimum of 75% recycled materials (Pilgrim's own page cites 99%). They suit everyday casual wear and, per customer reviews, pair especially well with short or grey hair, with a hinged post-and-latch closure for pierced ears that reviewers say stays closed on a substantial metal build. Be aware the diameter runs larger than many expect, so measure against your preferred earring length first—this may not suit those preferring delicate hoops.[7,8,9] |

Boucles d’oreilles Nova
Je n'ai pas aimé ces boucles d'oreilles. Elles étaient trop lourdes et je les ai retournées.
