Product Insights
Simons' Large Modern Hoops offer an entry-level price of $19 for a 25mm brass/gold-plated hoop that is medium-sized by industry standards, trading the durability of a previously $70 sterling silver version for a finish that tarnishes to a patina and wears to brass within 1–2 years, with potential skin staining, while maintaining a slim, uninterrupted silhouette suited for everyday wear.
Verified claims
- Material
- Current $19 brass/gold-plated hoops replaced a $70 sterling silver version.
- Durability
- Silver finish tarnishes to warm patina; gold plating wears to brass.
- Longevity
- Gold-plated brass finish lasts 1–2 years with care; daily wear reduces it to months.
- Wear pattern
- Gold wears at the post and eyelet first, exposing a warm brass base that darkens over time.
- Skin staining
- Brass can leave a faint green residue on skin; harmless.
- Care
- For the silver finish, clean only with a gentle dry microfiber cloth; for the gold-plated finish, clean with a mild dish-soap-and-water solution and a soft microfiber cloth. Remove before showering and avoid direct perfume contact to slow patina.
- Size
- Simons' 25mm 'Large' hoops are medium-size per industry standards—comparable to a quarter and everyday-wear ideal.
- Silhouette
- The post-and-eyelet closure at 25mm maintains a slim, uninterrupted hoop silhouette for a modern look.
- Sizing
- 25mm diameter is medium by industry standards; roughly the size of a quarter.
- Value
- At $19, shapes like C$118 Jenny Bird; slim post closure; entry to Simon's.
- All-day comfort
- At 25mm, the hoop sits in the 20–30mm size range jewelers describe as light enough to forget during all-day wear and practical for daily use.
- Sensitive ears
- The gold-plated finish initially shields the skin from the brass base but the thin plating wears over time—especially at the post—so its protection is temporary; the silver finish is bare brass from day one and puts brass directly against the piercing.
- Replating
- When the gold layer wears through, a jeweler can replate the earrings for about $30–$80, restoring the original finish for less than the cost of replacement.

Compared within this brand.
| Large Modern Hoops: Choose this if you have pierced ears and want chunky, high-polish hoops with a tubular rounded profile and a 2.5 cm diameter. They fasten with a post and eyelet closure and come in one size, with a gold finish in gold-plated brass or a silver finish in brass. Note that the metal is brass-based rather than solid precious metal, which may matter if you have metal sensitivities.[1,2] | Large Golden Tubular Hoops: Choose these if you want an oversized golden hoop with a clean, polished look: they are stainless steel hoops with a hollow tubular profile, smooth rounded surface, and a mirror-like polished finish, measuring 3.5 cm in diameter. They close with a post and hook clasp designed for pierced ears, so they suit shoppers who wear pierced-ear styles. One listing also describes the material as gold-plated stainless steel, so the finish is worth confirming if that detail matters to you.[3,4,5] | Extra-Large Golden Tubular Hoops: Choose this if you want an oversized, statement-making hoop: each earring is a polished gold-tone hollow stainless steel tube with a 5.5 cm diameter, a near-perfect circular shape, and a post and hook clasp for pierced ears in one size. Be aware that customer reviews report the hoops are heavy, which can become uncomfortable during all-day wear — one reviewer found them unwearable — and that the clasp can be tricky to close and unhook, especially for those who struggle with small jewelry clasps.[6,7] |

User searching for Simoms silver hoops from 2024
Searched squoval and oval hoops on Etsy, eBay, Poshmark and have tried a couple thrift shops just in case I got lucky. Length of the hoop is 3cm and width is 1cm. They’re just Simon’s brand sterling silver hoops from about spring/summer 2024 and at the time went for $70.
