The ultimate first-world problem! I'm torn between the small Lock and medium Hardwear earrings (both in yellow gold). I've tried both on and definitely lean toward the more subtle Lock. However, I feel like Hardwear is more classic Tiffany at this point and would be a nice change from anything I have in my current collection. I already have a nice collection of gold hoops and hoop alternatives and am afraid the Lock might be too similar to things I already have. Has anyone had a similar dilemma or any words of advice? Thanks so much!

Hi! I decided to purchase the medium hardwear earrings in rose gold late last year, but I also plan on purchasing the small lock earrings with diamonds sometime this year🤣 I went with hardwear first because I think that they are unique compared to the other hoops that I have, I really do highly recommend them! But I also think that they’re both gorgeous pairs of earrings, and there’s nothing wrong with having a wishlist and purchasing both at some point😉

The uniqueness is exactly what attracts me to the Hardwear earrings! Thankyou for the reminder that I can get both down the line. I really appreciate it!

I purchased the large hardware in sterling silver a few weeks ago and love them! They're perfect amount of edginess and statement, plus being very lightweight. I tried on the lock and thought they looked...just like any other hoop earrings and they were a little heavy on my lobes personally, they're still beautiful though!!

You have voiced all my concerns about the Lock. So glad you’re enjoying your Hardwear!
