Federation

Not Hoops Earrings Silver | 925 Sterling Silver | Federation

$119.95

The Federation Not Hoops Earrings in Silver are a distinctive take on a classic hoop earring, crafted from 925 sterling silver and set with round-cut clear stones for refined sparkle. Not quite a traditional hoop and not quite a carabiner, this oval earring design sits beautifully between everyday jewellery and statement styling.

Inspired by the shape of a carabiner, the Not Hoops have a softly structured oval form that feels modern, playful and quietly luxurious. The clear stones catch the light as you move, making them an easy piece to wear with a simple daytime outfit, a polished evening look or a layered silver jewellery edit.

Made from 925 sterling silver, also known as solid sterling silver, these earrings have a fine jewellery feel rather than a costume jewellery finish. The scale gives them presence on the ear without feeling oversized, while the silver and clear stone combination makes them easy to pair with almost anything in your wardrobe.

Wear them alone when you want the earrings to be the focus, or style them with pieces from our Federation jewellery collection for a cohesive silver look. They pair especially well with a silver bracelet, a minimal ring stack or a simple chain from our jewellery and accessories edit.

Every piece of Federation jewellery at Flux Boutique is presented in a black jewellery box, making the Not Hoops Earrings a beautiful ready-to-give gift. At $119.95, they are a considered jewellery piece for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, milestones or simply as a special addition to your own collection.

Available online and at our Mount Maunganui store, subject to availability.

Why You’ll Love It

The Not Hoops Earrings are ideal if you love silver earrings that feel timeless but not predictable. Their oval carabiner-inspired shape gives them a distinctive point of difference, while the 925 sterling silver and clear stones keep the look elegant, polished and easy to wear.

They are statement earrings without being loud, dressy without feeling overly formal, and playful without losing sophistication. This makes them a versatile choice for anyone who wants jewellery that feels considered, modern and a little unexpected.

Styling Tips

Wear the Federation Not Hoops Earrings with your hair tucked back, tied up or softly swept away from the face to highlight the oval shape and clear stone detailing. They also sit beautifully with hair down, catching the light subtly as you move.

For everyday styling, pair them with a crisp white shirt, a relaxed linen dress, soft knitwear or a simple coastal-inspired outfit. For evening, wear them with tailored separates, a black dress or a more structured silhouette where the earrings can add polish without overpowering the look.

For a complete silver jewellery story, style them with the Federation Fifty Fifty Bracelet or other pieces from our Federation jewellery collection. Keep the rest of your jewellery minimal if you want the Not Hoops to be the main feature.

Gifting Ideas

The Not Hoops Earrings make a thoughtful jewellery gift for someone with a strong personal style. They feel more considered than a generic pair of silver hoops, but still versatile enough to wear often.

They are a beautiful choice for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, graduation gifts, milestone moments or a meaningful treat-yourself purchase. Because they come presented in a black jewellery box, they are gift ready without needing extra wrapping.

For a more layered gift, pair them with the Federation Fifty Fifty Bracelet for a complete silver jewellery set. For a luxurious Flux gift edit, style them with one of our Ecoya candles and a Write To Me journal for a beautiful combination of jewellery, fragrance and keepsake gifting.

Helpful FAQs

What are the Federation Not Hoops Earrings made from?

The Federation Not Hoops Earrings are made from 925 sterling silver with round-cut clear stones set throughout the oval frame. 925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver and is a durable, high-quality precious metal commonly used in fine jewellery.

Are the Not Hoops Earrings real sterling silver?
