Chunky Gold Hoop Earrings
These chunky hoops are the kind of classic that never really goes out of style — they just keep showing back up on every cool person you follow. The thick, smooth profile catches light beautifully, the 18k gold PVD finish gives them a rich, polished look, and somehow they're still light enough to wear from morning meetings to midnight without your ears staging a protest.
No charms, no dangles, no fuss. Just a bold, confident hoop that does exactly what it promises. Available in warm gold PVD and cool stainless steel — because a good chunky hoop deserves to exist in both.
✦ Thick, smooth chunky hoop silhouette
✦ 18k gold PVD & stainless steel options
✦ Lightweight despite the bold look
✦ Tarnish-resistant & water-resistant
✦ 20mm diameter
Gemstone beads are genuine, high-quality semi-precious stones sourced from small businesses.
All metal components are crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. Gold styles feature an 18k gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish — a process that bonds gold to the metal at a molecular level for a harder, longer-lasting result than traditional plating. The finish is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and tarnish-resistant, making it perfect for everyday wear. All metals used are hypoallergenic and free of nickel, lead, and other harsh chemicals, making them a great choice for sensitive skin.
Dos:
Store in a dry place — a cloth bag or jewelry box works great.
Store separately to prevent tangling with other pieces.
Keep a polishing cloth handy to remove sweat and oils.
Don'ts:
Avoid swimming, showering, or heavy sweating while wearing your jewelry.
Don't apply lotions, oils, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry.
Keep pieces in the bathroom, steam and humidity can cause damage.

Love Notes
Hey, I’m Selena, your go-to jewelry maker for compassionate babes.
I’ve always known I was an artist. What can I say? I spent more time at the craft table than the playground as a kid.
Though my formal education involved getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, I’ve been drawing, painting, and making things ever since I was a little girl.
All the little things you might wonder

Every necklace sits a little differently depending on who's wearing it, and that's part of what makes jewelry so personal. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone special, knowing your preferred length makes all the difference.
All you need is a piece of string and a ruler or measuring tape. Wrap the string around your neck, adjust until it falls right where you want it, then mark that spot and measure away.
Already have a necklace you adore the fit of? Measure that one and let it be your guide. And if something isn't quite right once it arrives, I've got you! Altru offers exchanges within 30 days of purchase so you can find the length that feels just like you. We have a extender chain that is also a great option if you're looking for a little extra flexibility. -
Nope! Make sure you’re not showering with any of your Altru Jewelry. No jewelry is
waterproof, and removing it before you shower will help make sure it lasts a long time. -
Use a microfiber cloth and a polishing paste. You can either purchase specific jewelry
cleaning products, or use a combination of baking powder and water, or simple
dishsoap for routine polishing. -
Yes, definitely! Read this blog post here about preventing tarnishing.

Yes, definitely! Gold filled jewelry is a great option for everyday pieces because it’s layer
of gold is thicker than gold-plated or gold vermeil jewelry, making it less likely to
tarnish over time. Just make sure you follow the jewelry care best practices with your
gold filled pieces. -
Yep! You can get an extension chain here that will extend the length of your necklace.
