These tiny, 12mm sleeper hoops have a super lightweight and secure design that makes them perfect for new piercings that need an earring in them 24/7 while they heal. A sleeper fastening can be fiddly so we recommend checking out the handy guide on our blog for advice, but they're well worth the work as once in position they offer the most secure of all hoop fastenings. These hoops are made using yellow gold plated sterling silver, but other colours and sizes are also available.
