I want to get solid gold simply thin hoop earrings between 2 and 3 cm. But I can only seem to find hollow ones. Most sellers don’t even say. But they’re definitely hollow.

Can anyone help?
 
It’s hard to find hoops that aren’t hollow! I think solid ones would be very heavy. Do you want solid gold because you are looking for quality or durability?
If you’re looking for durability maybe look into electroformed hoops with an inner core of resin? Look for the inner core specifically because brands like TOUS use electroforming techniques but without core. You can find the ones with core where they sell Italian gold jewelry.
If you want solid gold hoops for the quality you might look into Peruvian 18k jewelry. Most things are done by hand but they’re really heavy.
HTH!

Maybe a piercing ring like this? There's a million combinations of rings like this in various gauges and diameters out there.

I can’t find any that have the resin. Any chance you know of any brands? I’m in Europe
 
Try Glamira! They make (or did make) 18k gold hoops that are completely solid. I owned a 30mm pair from them a few years ago and they were absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable to wear. Not cheap (about £400ish even then) but very good quality. I seem to recall you could choose the metal you wanted them in, so there might be some cheaper options (14k or 9k gold).

If you are interested contact them first though, just to double check that they are still solid. I believe the description also mentions it on the website listing.

Can’t find any there but I’ll email them. Thanks

They definitely have them, I had a quick look after I posted earlier but there are literally hundreds of options so it may be best to contact them to see if they can source exactly what you want from their stock. They might even make them for you if you tell them your requirements as I know they made mine despite the design being listed on their website (took several weeks).
