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.

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!
