Product Insights
These 17 mm oval hoops from Simons use a hinged post that lies flush without a backing, reducing irritation and enabling comfortable wear during sleep and with headphones, with a one-handed snap mechanism for quick, effortless use and a hidden seam for a smooth appearance. However, the gold-plated brass construction lasts only 1-3 years before plating wear exposes the brass base, which can cause nickel allergy or harmless green staining, and the design—though cheaper than comparable options—requires careful maintenance to extend its life.
Verified claims
- Closure
- Hinged post closure lies flush without backing, reducing irritation.
- Footprint
- 17 mm length, just 1 mm longer than 16 mm versions, less than half of 35 mm.
- Profile
- Hinged post gives a clean oval profile that sits flush, comfortable for sleep and headphones.
- Comfort
- No separate backing presses against the skin, reducing irritation during extended wear.
- Ease of use
- The hinged post snaps closed with one hand, so the earrings can be put on quickly and securely without a mirror.
- Aesthetics
- Hidden seam inside the hoop keeps the oval profile smooth and continuous.
- Durability
- Gold-plated brass lasts 1-3 years; exposed base may irritate sensitive skin.
- Allergic reaction
- Brass is not hypoallergenic; once the plating wears thin, exposed brass can cause irritation or contact dermatitis in sensitive wearers.
- Green staining
- Green staining on skin from brass is harmless and washes off.
- Care
- Keeping dry, storing in pouch, avoiding chemicals extends plating life.
- Wear appearance
- Gold plating wear reveals brass base and harmless green skin marks.
- Design origin
- Designed in Canada and sold exclusively at Simons.
- Price comparison
- At $19 CAD, it is cheaper than Target's $19.99 USD oval hoop after conversion.
- Plating longevity
- The gold plating typically lasts between one and three years with normal wear, and earrings tend to hold up longer than rings because they experience less friction.
- Closure security
- The hinged post with hook closure is a more secure mechanism than the basic stud-and-friction fittings on cheaper hoops, so the earrings are less likely to snag or fall off.

Compared within this brand.
| Small Oval Hoops: Choose this if you want small oval hoops for pierced ears with an easy hinged post closure: they measure 17 mm in length, have a rounded, thick profile, and the Silver variant comes in one size. Note the composition is listed as brass (described as gold-plated brass on the product page), so they may not suit shoppers looking for solid precious metals.[2,3] | Twisted-Oval Small Hoops: Choose this if you want small Simons-exclusive hoops designed in Canada, with an irregular twisted oval or teardrop profile in a hollow tubular form and a high-gloss reflective finish. Each earring measures 1.5 cm long, is made of gold-plated brass with a post and hook clasp intended for pierced ears, and comes in one size with Silver or Assorted color options. Note the brass composition rather than solid precious metal, and there is only a single one-size fit.[4,5] | Shiny Oval Hoops: Choose these if you want classic, timeless oval hoops to wear on repeat, with an eye-catching high-gloss finish and an elongated teardrop profile measuring 3 cm long by 1 cm wide, made of gold or silver-plated brass with a post and hook clasp for pierced ears. One reviewer with sensitive ears reported no skin reactions, though that is a single report. Note that the weight is polarizing—heavier than typical hoops, which some wearers find adds character but others find uncomfortable for all-day wear—and several buyers report the clasp is hard to open, close, and fasten securely.[1,6,7] |

Search request for Simons silver oval hoops describes product details
Searched squoval and oval hoops on Etsy, eBay, Poshmark and have tried a couple thrift shops just in case I got lucky. Length of the hoop is 3cm and width is 1cm. They’re just Simon’s brand sterling silver hoops from about spring/summer 2024 and at the time went for $70.
