I designed these small silver hoop earrings in 20 gauge sterling silver wire and a 1/2” diameter. They are great for men or women to wear everywhere. The 12mm earrings are made with 20 gauge wire that I have hammered for strength. The sleeper hoop style is almost seamless. You insert the earrings by gently moving the ends apart (sideways when you are holding the earring vertically) and closing the earring once it is in your ear. These earrings are about 1/2" (13 mm) round and will be shipped in a splurge gift tin. Please expect subtle variation in each pair of handmade earrings.
This style of hoop is also available in other metals as shown in the photo with 3 pairs of earrings - sterling silver (top), stainless steel (bottom left) and natural hypoallergenic niobium (bottom right).
I also offer these earrings in anodized niobium in a variety of colours shown here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Splurge?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=6091132
