The details that matter
Discover Luma: a solid gold earlobe hoop with hand-hammered detail around the entire outer edge and a smooth, polished front and inner surface.
1. Why you’ll love it
A familiar little hoop, with something extra to notice. Wear one as a delicate accent, choose two for a pair, or mix diameters along your lobes. Each hoop is sold individually.
The entire outer circumference is hammered by hand with tiny, irregular transverse marks: short strokes across the outer edge that catch the light in little flashes. The front-facing side and inner surface remain smooth and polished.
The width, depth, angle and spacing of these small marks vary naturally with each hammer stroke. No two rings have exactly the same pattern; yours will share the design pictured, with details of its own.
Each Luma ring is handmade to order, with closely aligned ends for an almost seamless look. Sold individually, for fully healed lobe piercings.
2. Material & finish
Crafted from 14ct solid gold, never plated or gold-filled. Hand hammering follows the whole outer circumference, while the front-facing side and inner surface are left smooth and polished.
- Available in yellow, white or rose gold
- Small, irregular transverse hammer marks across the full outer edge
- A smooth front-facing side and polished inner surface
- Handmade variations in the width, depth and spacing of each short mark
- Photographs show the design; the exact hammer pattern varies from ring to ring
- Made to order in your chosen size and gauge, for fully healed lobe piercings
3. Choosing your size
The inner diameter determines the size of the hoop and how much space sits beneath your lobe. Compare with a hoop that already fits you:
- 8mm: a smaller hoop for a closer look, depending on your lobe and piercing position
- 9–10mm: a little more room for an understated everyday look
- 11–12mm: a larger curve with more of the hoop on show
Your lobe shape and piercing position affect the fit. Choose the same gauge as your current well-fitting jewellery: 20G is 0.8mm and 18G is 1.0mm.
Each hoop is sold individually. Add two in the same size, gauge and gold colour for a pair, or choose different diameters to build your own ear stack. The hand-hammered textures will naturally vary from hoop to hoop.
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 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.
5. A little something to unwrap
Your Luma hoop arrives with:
- One handmade Luma 14ct solid gold lobe ring, in your selected size, gauge and gold colour
- A STEPOY jewellery box
- A STEPOY gift bag
- A thank-you card
A small treat for yourself, or a thoughtful gift for someone whose piercing size you know. Each hoop is sold individually; select a quantity of two if you would like a pair.
