The details that matter
Because sometimes half a millimetre makes all the difference.
1. Why you’ll love it
A hoop that is 1mm larger can leave more space than you want, while the smaller size may sit too close or press against the tissue.
Our half-size hoops give you a precise option between standard whole sizes, so you do not have to compromise on the way your ring sits.
Each one is handmade to order in your selected diameter, gauge and gold colour.
2. Material & finish
Made from genuine 14ct solid gold — never plated or gold-filled.
- 58.5% gold, alloyed for strength
- Available in yellow, white or rose gold
- Nickel-free
- Solid throughout, with no plating to flake
- Made for long-term everyday wear
3. Choosing your size
The inner diameter is measured across the open space inside the hoop:
- 5.5mm: between 5mm and 6mm; an extremely small diameter
- 6.5mm: between 6mm and 7mm
- 7.5mm: between 7mm and 8mm
- 8.5mm: between 8mm and 9mm
- 9.5mm: between 9mm and 10mm
- 10.5mm: between 10mm and 11mm
Choose the half size when the smaller whole size feels too close but the next size leaves more space than you want.
Select the same gauge as your current jewellery. Available gauge options may vary by diameter because thicker wire cannot be formed safely into every small size.
Half sizes offer greater precision, but they do not guarantee a fit. Your anatomy and piercing placement still determine which diameter you need.
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.
If the piercing is difficult to reach, ask a professional piercer to fit it for you.
