A small letter with a personal meaning
Choose one of 26 letters to make the hoop yours — an initial for your name, someone important to you, a family name, or a private symbol you can wear every day. The polished letter keeps the look personal without feeling oversized or overly decorative.
1. Why you’ll love it
If a plain hoop feels too generic but a nameplate or dangling charm feels like too much, this initial hoop sits in the middle: personal, compact and easy to style every day.
Choose A–Z to wear your own initial, represent a partner, child, friend or family name, or mark a letter with a meaning that is yours alone. It also makes a thoughtful gift when you want jewellery to feel chosen for one person rather than simply decorative.
The open huggie-style hoop has no clasp to fasten and no two ends to carefully realign after fitting. Simply guide the smooth end through a suitable, fully healed piercing and rotate the letter into position.
2. Material & finish
Made in 14K gold with a polished finish.
- Choose 14K yellow gold, white gold or rose gold
- Choose any letter from A to Z
- Available in 18G and 20G
- Available in 6–12mm inner diameters
- Smooth, reflective finish for a clean everyday look
3. Choosing your size
The inner diameter determines how closely the hoop sits around your nose or ear:
- 6–7mm: a smaller, closer fit
- 8–9mm: a balanced everyday fit for many placements
- 10–12mm: more room and a more visible hoop
Choose the same gauge as your current jewellery: 20G is approximately 0.8mm, while 18G is approximately 1.0mm.
Your ideal diameter depends on your anatomy and piercing placement. For the most reliable fit, measure the inner diameter of a hoop that already fits you well or ask your piercer before ordering.
4. How to put it on
This hoop is designed with an opening, so there is no clasp to undo and no need to repeatedly twist the ring out of shape.
Guide the smooth plain end through your fully healed piercing, then gently rotate the hoop until the letter faces the direction you prefer.
Do not force the ends together or repeatedly bend the hoop. For difficult-to-reach ear placements, ask a professional piercer to fit it for you.
5. Where can I wear it
This initial open hoop can be worn in a suitable, fully healed nostril or ear piercing.
Possible placements include the nostril, lobe and selected cartilage piercings, depending on your anatomy, piercing position, gauge and required inner diameter.
Because fit varies from person to person, confirm your gauge and inner diameter before ordering.
