Product Insights
Midi34's Maxim Small Hoops are 7mm diameter 925 sterling silver hinged hoops, priced at $39 CAD, offering a hypoallergenic, near-flush fit ideal for stacking in multiple piercings without crowding. They provide all-day comfort with minimal snag risk, but the hinged closure can be fiddly for some, and the 14k gold-plated version requires careful maintenance to avoid wear within 6-18 months, while the silver variant's tarnish is reversible with simple care. Overall, they deliver comparable design and comfort to higher-priced stacking hoops at less than half the cost.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- 7mm diameter gives a snug, near-flush fit suitable for stacking.
- Fit
- These 7mm hoops fit second and third lobe piercings without crowding.
- Value
- At $39 CAD, they cost less than half of comparable sterling silver stacking hoops.
- All-day comfort
- Lightweight, flush-fitting, and secure, with minimal snag risk—comfortable worn all day.
- Hypoallergenic
- Both finishes use 925 sterling silver, a nickel-free, hypoallergenic metal suitable for sensitive ears.
- Ease of use
- Some buyers report the hinged closure is fiddly at first, especially for limited dexterity.
- Hinge wear
- Weak snap or wobble signal hinge wear; early detection extends earring lifespan.
- Plating durability
- The gold finish is 14k gold-plated over a 925 sterling silver base—not solid gold or vermeil—and meets the FTC 0.5-micron gold-plate floor; visible wear typically appears after 6–18 months of daily use.
- Tarnish care
- Daily wipe-down, last-on-first-off order, and anti-tarnish storage prevent tarnish; a baking-soda bath reverses it on the silver variant.
- Care & maintenance
- Silver version tarnish reversible in minutes; gold-plated needs only a microfiber wipe.
- Provenance
- Quebec-designed, Simons-sold; hinged closure matches higher-priced siblings
- Hoop size
- At 7 mm, the earrings are below the typical 8–10 mm huggie range and land in micro-hoop territory, making them a deliberate pick for stacking and second-piercing wear.
- Hypoallergenic & nickel-free
- The Maxim Small Hoops are made from 925 sterling silver, which is naturally nickel-free and hypoallergenic for most people; the gold version is 14k gold-plated over the same sterling silver base.
- Visual size comparison
- At 7 mm in diameter, these hoops are roughly the size of a small pea—significantly smaller than a dime (about 18 mm)—so they read as a tiny, subtle earring.

Tiny dainty hoops with an easy-to-use hinged post
These Midi34 Maxim Small Hoops suit shoppers who want an extremely petite hoop for pierced ears, with a hinged post closure that one customer who specifically sought this design found secure and easy to use. Be aware the very small diameter divides opinion: multiple buyers reported being unable to close the hoops at all, which made them unwearable for those reviewers.[1]
Everyday hoops with a clasp-durability caveat
These small genuine silver hoops suit shoppers who want a pair to wear often, but reviews analysis flags a significant caution for exactly that kind of use: the clasp is described as flimsy and fragile, and one buyer reportedly doubted the attachment point would hold up. The same analysis suggests the clasp may break with regular use, making frequent wear a riskier choice — a possibility, not a confirmed outcome.[1]
A tiny hinged hoop for dainty jewelry fans
These silver hoops suit shoppers looking for extremely small, hinged everyday earrings. Fans of dainty jewelry love their subtle look, with an easy-to-use, secure post. Be aware the very petite diameter is polarizing: multiple buyers report the hoops are so tiny they can't close them at all.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Maxim Small Hoops: Choose this if you specifically want tiny, hinged hoops for pierced ears — the 7 mm diameter gives a subtle, dainty look that fans of delicate jewelry love, in 925 sterling silver or a 14k gold-plated finish. The hinged post closure is described as secure and easy to use by those who sought this design. Note that the extreme petite size means several buyers could not close the hoops at all, and reviews analysis reports a flimsy clasp that may not survive repeated wear, making it a risky pick for frequent use.[1] | Olivia Small Hoops: Choose these if you want small, chunky everyday hoops: they measure 13 mm long with a short, thick profile and a smooth, high-gloss polished finish, and they use a hinged post closure for pierced ears. They come in a Silver finish in 925 sterling silver and a Gold finish in 14k gold plated sterling silver, with a design originating in Canada and a 6-month warranty on the brand's jewelry. Note they are offered in one size only and are intended for pierced ears.[2,3,4] | Jeanne Small Hoops: Choose this if you want small, everyday pierced-ear hoops with a subtle sparkle: these 12 mm (about half an inch) circular hoops are made of 14k gold-plated 925 sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones set along the outer face, and close with a hinged post and hook designed for pierced ears. Note that sizing sources differ slightly, with one listing the diameter as 7 mm instead of 12 mm, and the retailer lists the color only as Assorted, so confirm the exact finish you receive.[5,6,7] |

Insatisfaite
Difficile à porter à attacher et à porter les petits annaux.
Trop petite
Les boucles d'oreilles sont trop petites pour mes oreilles. Incapacité de les attacher
Qualité trop fragile
L’anneau est trop fragile au niveau de son attache, je ne sens pas que j’ai fait un achat qui va me durer longtemps.
Exactly what I was looking for
Lovely little hoops! I really wanted a pair with a hinged post, and these are perfect. I may get another pair!
