Types of Closures

Creole

Creole hoop earring closures are a classic and elegant fastening style, often seen in traditional and modern hoop earring designs. They feature a hinged back that clicks securely into a small catch or groove on the opposite end of the hoop, creating a flawless circle when worn. This type of closure is loved for its comfort, durability, and ease of use, it’s secure enough for everyday wear while being simple to open and close. Elevate your look with our THOMAS SABO Silver Small Chunky Creole Hoop Earrings. Made from recycled 925 sterling silver, these timeless hoops feature a sleek, rounded design that adds subtle impact to any outfit.

Hinged

Hinged hoop earring closures are also known as hinged backs or hinged snaps. They have a small hinge that lets some of the hoop swing open and then securely click shut. This type of closure is very popular within our jewellery range because it is so easy to use and is super secure without needing separate backs or little fiddly components. If you’re looking for a closure that’s ideal for everyday wear and ease then hinged closures are the perfect choice. Add a modern flair to your usual style with these Lovecloud Silver Circle Hoop Earrings from Nomination. Crafted from sterling silver, these elegant hoops feature a contemporary beaded design, perfect as a thoughtful gift or a special treat for yourself. Our hinged hoop closures are comfortable, durable, and quick to fasten, making them a practical and stylish choice for anyone who loves the timeless look of hoop earrings.

Post & Butterfly

Butterfly hoop earring closures, also known as push backs, are a popular and practical option for securing your much loved hoop earrings. These closures feature a small metal backing that gently slides onto a post behind the earlobe, holding the earring snugly in place. Our John Greed signature entwined hoop earrings feature a butterfly closure and are beautifully crafted from Sterling silver. They also contain bright white stones for an added gorgeous sparkle. While traditionally used for stud earrings, some hoop designs include butterfly backs for a more streamlined, comfortable fit, especially in smaller or semi-hoop styles. They’re ideal for everyday wear, as they are easy to use and stylish.

The importance of hoop earring closures

Hoop closures are important in both the look and the functionality of hoop earrings. Without hoop closures, the earring would struggle to securely stay in place and you could even end up losing your stunning hoop jewellery. Hoop closures also help to make your earrings comfortable and wearable all day long! Different types of closures also change the look and feel of the jewellery, depending on the occasion or the aesthetic you are hoping to achieve. Getting to know the different types of closures helps you to choose the ideal hoop that blends both security and your own personal style.

Whatever your style may be, we have a hoop closure to suit you! From classic designs in Sterling silver, to sleek hinges in gold, get creative and enjoy mixing, matching, and finding the perfect hoop closure to fit your look.
