Hinged post closure with a snap lock; post clicks into a catch on the opposite side.

| Kairoa Thick Hoops: Choose these if you want chunky, classic hoops with an easy-to-use snap-lock hinged closure for pierced ears. They measure 18 mm in diameter, come in one size with silver and gold-plated brass color options, and Pilgrim describes them as waterproof with a lasting-shine finish. The recycled brass construction (99% recycled materials, per Pilgrim) may appeal if sustainability matters to you.[1,2] | Thick Wavy Half-Hoops: Choose this if you want thick half-hoop stud earrings with a wavy, concave outer face and a high-gloss mirror-like shine, made from a minimum of 75% recycled metals and designed by Denmark's Pilgrim label. Each earring measures 2.5 cm long, sold one size, with a push back closure for pierced ears. Note the listing describes a gold-plating finish, while this variant is listed in Silver with a silver-tone reflective look, so confirm the finish matches what you expect.[3,4,5] | Wide Hoops: Choose these Pilgrim hoops if you want small, wide-profile everyday earrings: they measure 8 mm in diameter with a broad, rounded, domed form and a polished, highly reflective finish. They come in silver-plated and gold-plated color options, are made from a minimum of 75% recycled materials, and use a hinged post closure designed for pierced ears. Note they are offered in one size only, so the compact 8 mm scale needs to suit your preference.[6,7] |
