Product Insights
Simons' Large Grooved Hoops are small 12mm huggies offering a comfortable, weightless feel with no lobe drag, ideal for curated ear stacks due to their compact size and parallel grooves that catch light for a shimmer effect. Their core is gold-plated 316L stainless steel, hypoallergenic to most, with a finish lasting over a year and replatable for $20–$60, though hinge use may thin the plating invisibly. At $19 CAD, they provide affordable value for building multiple earrings, but buyers expecting large 40mm hoops will find these far smaller, and plating longevity depends on basic care.
Verified claims
- Hoop size
- At 12mm, these are small huggies, far below the 40mm threshold for large hoops.
- Stacking suitability
- Ideal for curated ear looks with multiple piercings due to small size.
- Comfort
- No lobe drag or stretch due to small diameter; comfortable for all-day wear.
- Shimmer effect
- Parallel grooves catch light and add dimension on the 12mm hoop for a high-end shimmer.
- Plating longevity
- Because earrings have minimal skin and clothing friction, the gold plating lasts longer than it would on rings or bracelets; perfume, lotion, and especially chlorine accelerate wear.
- Replating
- When the gold finish wears thin, a jeweler can re-plate the earrings for roughly $20–$60, restoring the design rather than discarding the pair.
- Material
- Gold-plated 316L stainless steel: hypoallergenic to most, trace nickel possible.
- Finish longevity
- Gold finish lasts over a year with basic care; replatable for $20–$60.
- Weightless feel
- 12mm hoops have no torque or pendulum swing, so no stretching.
- Closure
- The click-lock closure secures the earring with an audible snap.
- Hinge wear
- Repeated hinge use thins gold plating, but wear is invisible and functional.
- Repairability
- When the gold plating fades, the stainless steel core can be re-plated by a jeweler for $20–$60, restoring the finish.
- Core durability
- Stainless steel core resists tarnish and holds shape for clean replating.
- Stack aesthetic
- 12mm grooved hoops add visual depth and moving shimmer, perfect as accent pieces in ear stacks.
- Value
- At $19 CAD, these hoops are affordable for buying multiple pairs to build ear stacks.
- Hypoallergenic / nickel-free
- These earrings are made from stainless steel, which is generally considered hypoallergenic and nickel-free for most people; however, the gold plating may contain trace amounts of nickel, so shoppers with severe nickel allergies should consult a jeweler or dermatologist.

Request to find Simon's brand sterling silver hoops
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.
