Product Insights
Simons' Chain Hoops are 25 CAD, in-stock earrings built on a full stainless steel base, so the gold plating will dull rather than corrode when it thins — a finite gold-look finish that lasts about 1–2 years with considerate wear, since only solid gold holds its color and value forever. The cubic zirconia pendant is the more durable component: it doesn't tarnish, can look convincing for decades, and any cloudiness is a removable film of soap or lotion. The tradeoff is that the spring hinge and plating show age first, not the stone, and buyers report latch-back hoops loosening over time; still, the hinged latch-back closure resists snags better than open French hooks. The 3 cm drop is measured from the hoop's top to the pendant's bottom, and while the Silver and Assorted color variants are both 25 CAD and ONE SIZE, only Silver guarantees the exact silver colorway.
Verified claims
- Base metal
- Full stainless steel base outlasts brass or copper plated hoops — when the gold finish thins it dulls instead of corroding.
- Plating durability
- Gold plating lasts 1–2 years with considerate daily wear.
- Gold content
- Only solid gold carries color and value forever — gold-plated steel is a finite gold-look finish.
- Stone durability
- Cubic zirconia pendants don't tarnish and can look convincing for decades in low-impact earring wear.
- Hinge
- The moving hinge and click clasp are the components most likely to loosen with repeated daily wear; the hinge is a common failure point in fashion hoop earrings.
- Plated vs solid
- Solid gold has no surface layer to erode; plated gold is finite and wears through.
- Closure
- Hinged latch-back closure resists snags that can knock an open French-hook dangle out of the ear.
- Care
- Cloudy cubic zirconia is usually a removable film of soap, lotion or perfume; cleaning restores sparkle.
- Longevity
- At 8.5 Mohs, cubic zirconia in earrings can stay brilliant for years or decades — the plating wears first.
- Tarnish resistance
- Cubic zirconia won't tarnish from air, humidity, or lotion; cloudy film on the facets washes off with cleaning.
- Wear sequence
- On these hoops the spring hinge and gold plating show age first, not the cubic zirconia.
- Drop length
- 3 cm is the full drop from the hoop's top to the cubic zirconia pendant's bottom, not the hoop's diameter.
- Variant choice
- The Silver and Assorted variants are both 25 CAD and ONE SIZE; only Silver names the silver colorway.
- Color options
- Color options Silver and Assorted are the same product at the same price; only Silver guarantees the exact colorway.
- Lightweight wear
- These earrings fall in the light everyday category: with a 3 cm drop built from gold-plated stainless steel, chain, and a single small cubic zirconia pendant, they should be fine for all-day wear.
- Cleaning method
- Clean these earrings with lukewarm water and a single drop of mild, unscented dish soap, rinse under clean water, and pat dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth; avoid toothpaste, baking soda, abrasive cloths, and ultrasonic cleaners.
- Nickel sensitivity
- These earrings are not listed as nickel-free and have no hypoallergenic claim; stainless steel can contain nickel, so buyers with severe nickel allergy should treat them with caution once the plating wears.
- Water exposure
- Remove these earrings before showering or swimming; chlorine, salt, soaps, and hot water accelerate gold plating wear even though the stainless steel core won't rust.
- Post plating
- The entire earring, including the hinged post and hook, carries the gold-plated finish; the post is a friction point and often the first area where plating wear shows.

User searching for Simon's silver hoops from 2024
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.
