Questions and answers

What is gold filled, and is it real gold?

Gold filled is real gold bonded to a durable core, so it is a step up from plated jewelry. It is hypoallergenic and nickel free, and it holds its color much longer than plating.

How do I pick a hoop size?

Smaller hoops sit close to the lobe, while larger hoops hang more freely. Check the quick facts above for the sizes available.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

It is water resistant and finished with an anti-tarnish coating, so everyday splashes are fine. It keeps its shine longest if you take it off before swimming or showering, or rinse and dry it afterward, and store it dry, ideally airtight.
