we sell soooooo many hoops in the IRL in-store collections that it's usually hard to keep up with that inventory and it's rare that they land here on the website first. Lucky you, last month we sourced far more than we sold, so here's a rare chance to snag a pair online. tbh sourcing preloved hoops is technically challenging since most are worn and loved until they're super damaged or one goes missing. The preloved hoops we do find often have very little wear, because they're technically preloved, but haven't been worn enough to suffer the consequences of daily wear
all are sterling silver, if it isn't marked it has been tested to confirm metal purity
