On a hoop, I like the snap bar closure.

Also, can only wear solid gold. Silver ladies you are lucky.
@IMW Can you wear white gold if you want the white metal look?
Yes, even though there is nickel alloy in it. Good question.

I don’t like having the hinge showing in front.

Snap bar.

I like a really small 11mm huggie hoop & have 2 pairs in 14K in yellow gold & white gold that I've had for nearly 20 years now. I trade colors every so often, but wear them 24/7. They're similar to these:

@aubnwa01 Those are beautiful. I like that the way the earring is made, the piercing is covered by part of the gold.

Thanks, @Shanus I love that there's nothing to snag or catch on anything & they're small enough that they almost "read" like a stud earring on the ear, but very comfortable to wear all the time & sleep in. I got them at a jewelry store in Seattle, back when gold was a lot cheaper & even though they're small, they're really weighty for their size & very solidly made. When they snap closed, they make a nice loud solid click so you know they're shut.
ETA: When I got them, I had to go to a piercing/tattoo parlor to get my piercings enlarged (that was an interesting Saturday afternoon experience in itself!) because the part that goes thru the ear was much bigger than what my old 40+ year old piercings could take, even trying to force it.

I like when the earring is all one piece. I like those snap bar closures but some earriings have ones that are terribly hard to unsnape once they are in!

@aubnwa01. That’s really interesting because most earring posts are a standard mm wire. Sorry you had to be “re-pierced”, but oh so worth it, to wear those earrings.
