Our Mini Live In Hoops are the daintiest of all our hoop earrings! So light and comfortable you can wear them all day, everyday. These lightweight beauties will take a little extra time and care when first putting them on, but that tiny {hoop} hug is worth it! Once in, they're made to be left in. Sleep, shower, run, create, travel — all without having to ever take them off.
Easiest way to get in these mini hoops? Grab a friend to help! To open, take your hoop and carefully pull and twist to the side.
Because of the value and quality of our 14k solid gold jewelry, any order that includes a piece from the Fine Jewelry Collection will automatically be upgraded to Expedited Shipping. This ensures that your pieces are protected, arriving safely and quickly from our studio to your hands.
Open the hoop by gently pulling apart and twisting each end away from the other.
Place the earring horizontally so the thinner end is on the front of your lobe and the other end is on the back of your lobe.
Insert the thinner end into your piercing.
Carefully twist the two ends back toward each other and insert the thinner end into the other.
This may take a few tries, but be patient! Once it’s in you can leave it in as long as you like.
Having a little trouble? Try putting it in backwards so the earring goes through the back of your piercing and attaches in the front of your lobe. Or enlist the help of a friend to secure!
Sleep, swim, sweat, and see the world with comfortable 24/7 wear.
We recommend checking occasionally to ensure the hoop is still securely closed.

Measuring for Your Bracelet
Take a measuring tape and measure your wrist where you normally wear a bracelet.
Add an appropriate length to the bracelet for a best fit. Please note lengths below.
For a "Tight" fit: Add 1/4" to 1/2" to your wrist size
For a "Just Right" fit: Add 3/4" to 1"
For a "Relaxed" fit: Add 1 1/4"
The earrings are dainty and simple, and hug my earlobe nicely. However, they were very difficult to get in. The how to video makes it look much easier than it really is. It took me almost an hour to get both in, and my earlobes are very sore after finally getting them in. I ended up having to put the earrings in backwards so I could see if they were aligned and locked in. I honestly still am not sure if they are, so fingers crossed they don’t fall out and I lose them! I want to love them, so after the frustration of getting them put in passes and my earlobes are not so angry, I will inspect them to ensure they are secure.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We are so sorry to hear about your experience putting in your live in hoops! Our Live in Hoops are so light and dainty, but are meant to be lived in! They do require a little extra care when putting them on, but once they're in, you can run, shower, sleep, play, create, and travel in them.
Please reach out to us at info@madebymary.com if you continue to have issues with your hoops!

I’ll start with the bad news first. These are pretty difficult to get on. If you have the patience, I recommend. You have to be very careful to not bend them too much but once they’re in, they’re beautiful. I sleep in them and have no issues. They pair well with the two other earrings that I got from made by Mary as well. Very pleased.
I love my little hoops. They’re comfortable and look great with everything. I’m glad I found these.
I love these earrings and they took such great care of me!!
I love these mini hoops! I’ve never been a change my earrings every day kind of person, and I’ve never liked studs. I love these mini hoops because they hug my ears and don’t affect when I’m wearing hearing protection.
The mini hoops do fit snugly around my earlobe- I wear them in the 2nd piercing hole. It took my husband’s help to snap them shut- but hey, I guess that’s why they are “live in” hoops because these puppies aren’t being taken on & off every day, when they are this hard to get on haha.
I was a bit skeptical that such affordable, gold-filled earrings would truly stand up to 24/7 wear, but I was totally wrong! These are SO comfortable, they haven't irritated my ears at all, which normally happens with cheap jewelry within a couple hours. I have had them in for a month now and haven't taken them out for a minute.
I bought the 12 mm mini hoops, which I think most people wear in second, third, or upper holes, but I wanted them for my first holes. I did follow the instructional video for how to get the hoops to close, but I wasn't able to close them myself, and my husband's fingers were too big to have any luck. I just let them sit, pinched as tightly closed as I could, until a few days later they had un-twisted themselves back into a straight line, and then I was able to slide the inner post into the outer ring. I was so happy with my purchase that I just made a second for tiny CZ studs and a stacking ring. Would highly recommend!
Customer service was amazing as one of mine came a bit damaged and they sent out a new pair with no issues and it was so easy! I love these they just are hard to put in, but once they are in they are not going anywhere and they are so comfortable I love them
I wanted small hoops that I didn’t have to think about or that wouldn’t bother me while sleeping… these are perfectly small, super cute, and unnoticeable when I lay my head down. Got one in no problem, the second one took quite a few try’s/adjustments but once they’re in, they’re in!
I got these as a Christmas present from my Dad. Even though they came after Christmas, the wait was worth it. The day I got them I put them in, and they are gorgeous on. It did take a while to put them in; especially how I put them in. I have the hoop going through my first and second hole. But I know that these hoops will not fall out. They live up to their name of "Live In". I have slept with them in, showered, and swam with these hoops in with out fear of losing them. I will be wearing these hoops for a long time. Not only do i get the hoops, but since my Dad did the after Christmas shipping i also got a free 16" sarellite necklace as a gift. It was i shock because we had not clue that it would be included, but i love and have bee wearing it since i got it. Not only are the hoops and the necklace beautiful the packageing is as well. The box the hoops came it is a cute little book. I am a book lover, and I think that is adorable.
