About

OUR STORY

We got our start in the 80s when Mark and Diane were newly married in their 20s. They walked into a jewelry store in the mall and offered that they could make better jewelry at a better price than all the imported jewelry there. And they did. And we still do. That jewelry is in stores across the US. Mark & Diane taught all their kids how to make jewelry. And we continue to make jewelry together today. 

OUR AMAZING CUSTOMERS

This review captures why WE LOVE making jewelry:

“im never taking these out of my ears. i dont even remember that they're there! my literal personality trait are these hoops now thank you 😌”

With real gold and silver (unlike fake plated jewelry that doesn’t last and end game is the garbage), it’s durable enough that you can wear it every single day & night on sensitive skin and new piercings. It never loses its value and is 100% recyclable. If you purchased jewelry from us when Hoops By Hand (retail) opened in 2014, your jewelry material has doubled in value. 

We’re here to help you find the right fit, the right jewelry for your style, so you can express your best self. 

And if by some miracle you read this whole thing, get 10% off your first order by joining our newsletter which is basically a way to get to more and new jewelry at secret prices. 

Also, thank you, thank you, thank. You!

Best wishes,

P.S. to be more specific, we use mostly 14K gold filled jewelry (5% gold by weight, pressure bonded), and sterling silver (92.5% fine silver). We carry solid gold for ultra sensitive piercings and as legacy pieces. If that all sounded like “blah blah blah” here’s a vid that explains different metals in a way you’ll never forget:
