The details that matter
A tiny 14ct solid gold hoop made for carefully measured, fully healed cartilage piercings.
1. Why you’ll love it
Designed for cartilage placements where a standard hoop leaves more room than you want.
With inner diameters from 4mm to 7mm, this tiny seamless hoop creates a delicate, close-fitting look for suitable, fully healed piercings.
Wear it alone for a minimal detail or use it to add a closely fitted hoop to your curated ear.
2. Material & finish
Made from genuine 14ct solid gold — never plated or gold-filled.
- Available in yellow, white or rose gold
- Nickel-free
- Available in 18G and 20G
- Suitable for sensitive, fully healed piercings
- Will not flake or reveal a base metal
3. Choosing your size
These are intentionally tiny inner diameters:
- 4–4.5mm: extremely small; only for very shallow, precisely measured placements
- 5–5.5mm: a very close, minimal fit
- 6–6.5mm: compact with slightly more room
- 7mm: the roomiest option in the tiny range
Choose the same gauge as your current jewellery: 20G measures 0.8mm, while 18G measures 1.0mm.
Do not choose by piercing name alone. Measure from the centre of your piercing hole to the nearest edge of the cartilage, then allow enough room for the hoop to clear the tissue without pressing against it.
If you are considering 4mm or 4.5mm, we strongly recommend confirming the size with your piercer before ordering.
4. Wearing your seamless hoop
Open the hoop by gently twisting the ends sideways in opposite directions. Do not pull the ends directly apart, as this can distort its shape.
Guide one end through your fully healed piercing, then twist the ends back into alignment.
Tiny hoops can be more difficult to handle and fit than larger rings. If the piercing is difficult to reach, ask a professional piercer to fit it for you.
