From beauty problem solvers to innovative skin care essentials, there's rarely something I won't try. However, my jewelry is an exception, and the thought of replacing my go-to pieces makes me cringe.
Since my early days of high school, I’ve worn the same earring style: a medium-sized pair of pearl studs. Every time they go missing, I replace them with a new pair.
Recently, a friend recommended a dainty pair of hoop earrings that she found online. I never wear hoops because I have an active lifestyle and don't like the feeling of dangling jewelry. However, these mini hoops have a cuff shape that "hugs" the lobe, which is why I was willing to give them a try.

What are the Pavoi 14K Gold-Plated Cuff Earrings?
The Pavoi 14K Gold-Plated Cuff Earrings are classic hoops that have over 16,000 verified five-star ratings and a 4.5-star average rating on Amazon. They’re also under $13, which is a plus — especially at the rate I lose my earrings.
I ordered the yellow gold color, but they also come in a rose gold and white gold finish. While some gold-plated accessories can look a little too yellow, these hoops look very similar to my other, more expensive, jewelry pieces. They have a brass interior with a 14-karat gold-plated exterior, which is designed to last longer, according to the brand.
Why I like the Pavoi 14K Gold-Plated Cuff Earrings
They fit securely — and comfortably — in my ears
One of the more unique characteristics of the hoops is the closure. They have a hinge at the bottom that opens so you can slide the post through your ear. They're easy to put on, and when you close the hinge, they feel extremely secure.
The brand also carries a similar pair of earrings with an average 4.4-star rating from more than 40,000 ratings. (And they also happen to be Amazon's #1 bestseller in Women's Ear Cuffs and Wraps category!) They come in the same gold-plated tones, but these have small cubic zirconia details down the front.
What to consider
The quality is impressive, but the fit varies by lobe
So far, I've worn the Pavoi cuff earrings for two weeks and haven't taken them off once. I've showered in them, worked out in them and even slept in them without experiencing any irritation or seeing any signs of tarnishing.
Amazon buyers are just as impressed as I am, and many say the quality of these earrings lives up to the positive reviews.
"I bought these in December of last year to wear in my second holes. I have worn them since they arrived, and I'm impressed with how solid these little hoops are!" said one verified buyer. "They have not turned my ears green and have not tarnished at all," they added.
However, some reviewers have noted that the size isn't always compatible for every lobe. If your lobe piercing is a bit higher and/or if the skin is a bit thicker, these earrings may not fit properly since they're meant to be huggies.
But to say I'm impressed with these earrings would be an understatement. They're affordable, easy to put on and surprisingly comfortable. Now that I've added them to my daily look, I'm sure there will be a few more pairs in my jewelry box soon.
