Hoop and huggie size guide

Our diamond hoops and huggies are measured by inner diameter, from a 9 mm huggie that hugs the cartilage to a 20 mm hoop that lets the lobe speak. Choose the size by where it will sit, not by the piece. Every size is 14k recycled gold with conflict-free diamonds, nickel-free, worn and tested in the Stockholm studio.

9 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
9 mm · The huggie

Close to the skin, almost no gap. Made for cartilage, where a hoop should follow the curve rather than hang from it. Quiet enough to sleep in.

Where it sits
Tragus Rook Forward helix High lobe
10 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
10 mm · The anchor

Our most worn size. Sits close on the lobe and neatly on the helix, the piece most ears are built around. Where to begin if you are beginning.

Where it sits
Lobe High lobe Helix Forward helix
11 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
11 mm · A touch of air

One millimetre more, and the hoop starts to move. Easy on a fuller lobe, comfortable on the helix.

Where it sits
Lobe High lobe Helix
12 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
12 mm · The in-between

Sits just below the lobe edge. Enough room to stack a pendant, still close enough to wear without thinking.

Where it sits
Lobe Helix
14 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
14 mm · Visible

The first size that reads from across the room. A clear drop on the lobe, the piece the rest of the ear is built around.

Where it sits
Lobe Conch
16 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
16 mm · Statement

A hoop that frames the jaw. Worn alone on the lobe, or as the lowest note of a curation.

Where it sits
Lobe
20 mm
Actual size, close to true on most phones. Hold a hoop you own against it.
20 mm · The full statement

Ours at its largest. Lobe only, and best on its own. Nothing else needed.

Where it sits

Find your size at home

Measure from the centre of your piercing to the edge of the ear. Add a millimetre or two for the hoop to sit with a little air. Snug is a huggie, space is a hoop.

Fresh piercings

A new piercing wants a labret first. Hoops come in once it has healed, and our piercers will tell you when.

Still unsure

Come to the studio at Nordiska Kompaniet. We will measure, hold a few sizes to the ear, and let the mirror decide.
