Product Insights
These oversized 6 cm golden hoops, as large as a billiard ball, are intended as a focal statement, offering a light feel and secure post-and-hook clasp for comfortable extended wear; made from a stainless steel core that prevents tarnish, green marks, and skin reactions, they require care such as applying lotion before wear and storage in a soft pouch to protect the gold plating; priced at $19, they cost $4 more than a 5.5 cm hoop for the extra 0.5 cm, and are best paired with minimal styling to let the hoops stand out.
Verified claims
- Size
- These 6 cm hoops are as large as a billiard ball and best worn as a focal statement.
- Comfort
- The post-and-hook clasp positions the hoop's center of mass close to the piercing, which reduces forward tilt and tugging during wear; buyers still report the earrings feel heavy and can make ears sore after a couple of hours.
- Value
- Priced $19, $4 more than Simons' 5.5 cm hoop for 0.5 cm more.
- Care
- Apply lotion, perfume, and sunscreen before wearing to protect the gold finish.
- Weight feel
- The stainless steel core keeps these hoops lighter than solid gold at this size, but customer reviews describe them as very heavy and report sore ears after a couple of hours of wear.
- Clasp
- Post-and-hook clasp prevents the 6 cm hoop from accidentally disengaging when snagged.
- Durability
- Gold-plated stainless steel construction with a stainless steel core that will not tarnish, corrode, or cause skin discoloration or green marks even as the gold plating wears.
- Storage
- Storing in a soft pouch prevents micro-scratches that dull the finish.
- Tarnish resistance
- Stainless steel core does not tarnish; lost shine is surface buildup.
- Skin safety
- Stainless steel won't tarnish or turn skin green.
- Styling
- Pair with minimal styling to let the hoops be the focal point.
- Thickness / profile
- The hoop is described as tubular with no published wall thickness. One reviewer described the earrings as 'very heavy for a simple hoop,' which points to a solid, rounded body rather than a thin wire — expect a chunky look; exact thickness is not specified.
- Care after exposure
- After gym, beach, or pool exposure, rinsing with plain water for about 30 seconds removes salt and chlorine residue that can dull the gold finish.
- Clasp maintenance
- Gold plating can wear at the hook-and-post contact point, so periodically wiping the clasp area with a soft cloth helps keep the closure clean and snapping properly.
- Wearing window
- This 6 cm size is not built for full-day wear in any construction; the size sets a wearing window of evenings, events, and styled sessions rather than a leave-in everyday default.
- Plating wear
- Plating thickness is not specified. Gold plating over the stainless steel base gradually wears with daily contact from sweat, perfume, lotions, and hairspray, so the finish can dull or wear through over time; the stainless steel underneath will not rust. Putting the earrings on last and wiping with a soft cloth after each wear slows the wear.
- Cleaning method
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth as the care instructions recommend; skip abrasive polishing cloths, liquid jewelry cleaners, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can strip the gold plating.
- Neckline clearance
- At 6 cm across — roughly 2.4 inches — these hoops hang well below a standard earlobe and typically reach the upper neck, so they can brush the neck and catch on high collars, turtlenecks, and scarves; the 3.5 cm version in the same line sits much closer to the lobe.

Delightful gift
Bought as a gift-much appreciated!
Pretty but heavy
These look nice and the clasp is secure, size is pretty much as expected, but they are *very* heavy for a simple hoop. They made my ears quite sore after only a couple of hours of wear.
