Ear Hoop Findings for Beaded & Charm Earrings

Start with the hoop style your design needs. Endless hoops use hollow tubing with a fine wire end that tucks into the opposite opening, so you can string beads straight onto the hoop and bend the tip closed with round-nose pliers. Beadable wire hoops have a flattened, pierced end that latches the hook into place. Hinged huggies click shut against the lobe and suit charm-drop designs. Common diameters run 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 20mm, 24mm, 30mm and up to 50mm; wire gauge usually sits at 20-22ga. For sensitive ears, choose niobium, titanium, sterling, or 14k gold-filled over plated brass. Expect roughly $3-$12 a pair for sterling or gold-fill, less for stainless and plated. Many sellers ship in 3-7 business days; small-batch or recycled-metal makers may need 1-2 weeks.

Use the filters for metal, diameter, and gauge, and the related searches to jump to a specific hoop style or finish.
