Choose small hoops by opening and scale
Outside diameter describes the full circle; inside diameter describes the opening around your ear. Neither the word small nor the word huggie guarantees a close fit. Compare a pair you already wear comfortably with the exact product measurements.
| Example | Outside diameter | Inside diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Diana sapphire | 10mm | 7mm |
| Natalie diamond | 11mm | 7mm |
| Florentine vermeil | 12mm | 9mm |
| Athena diamond | 13mm | 7mm |
| Florentine vermeil | 15mm | 12mm |
For a closer silhouette, compare huggie earrings. Use our hoop size guide to see why different 13mm designs can have different openings.
Find a small hoop with your preferred surface
Choose a diamond row, a colored gemstone face or a texture that catches the light. Natalie diamond hoops combine diamonds with a Florentine reverse; Florentine vermeil hoops pair an etched face with a polished reverse. Read the reversible hoop guide for the differences between designs.
Compare 14K gold, sterling silver and gold vermeil separately from size. Our materials guide explains their construction and care.
Small hoop questions
How do I choose the right hoop earring size?
Check the diameter and overall dimensions on the product page. Smaller hoops sit closer to the ear, while larger diameters create more movement and visual presence.
Can I wear small hoop earrings with stud earrings?
Yes. Hoops and studs layer naturally together; try varying scale while repeating a metal, gemstone or design detail to keep the ear balanced.
Are Nina Wynn hoop earrings sold as pairs?

How should I care for hoop earrings?
