KOSINER 14K Solid Gold Pavé Hoop vs Tilo Jewelry 14K Gold Endless Hoops

Buy the KOSINER if you want a single pavé-set 14K hoop with a choice of inner diameters and a fitted, dressed-up look for lobe or healed cartilage piercings. Buy the Tilo if you want a plain, seamless endless hoop in 14K yellow gold that you can wear in the shower, pool and to bed without thinking about it. The KOSINER has the higher rating but from only 14 ratings, so treat it as a small sample; the Tilo's 3.8 from 307 ratings is a broader, more mixed picture, and some owners report the hinge and closure loosening over time. Neither is plated, so both resist tarnish, but the KOSINER's stones and finer detail need more care.

• Choose the KOSINER if you want a pavé hoop that reads as jewelry first and comes in several inner diameters so you can pick a close huggie or a more open hoop.
• Choose the Tilo if you want a simple seamless 14K gold hoop you can leave in for showers, swimming and sleep, and you want a 10mm size that suits a second or third piercing.
