There are some universal pieces of
jewelry that can be worn anywhere at any time. Hoop earrings are one
of them. Due to the many different styles, sizes and types of metal
that they come in, you can wear a different pair of hoop earrings
every day – and turn them into your signature statement piece. Or,
you can pick up a few great pairs of them and save them for special
occasions; the choice is yours. That is the best thing about hoop
earrings – their versatility is endless!
Pave Hoop Earrings
Pave hoop earrings consist of a metal
base with hundreds of tiny gemstones (usually diamonds, but sometimes
a mix of diamonds and other stones like rubies, sapphires and
emeralds) are stunning when worn with evening wear or a cocktail
dress. When worn with other jewelry, such as necklaces and bracelets,
make a nice accent piece. However, you can also wear this type of
hoop earrings alone, using them to accentuate your face and the
neckline of your dress.
Small Hoop Earrings
This type and size of earrings are very
versatile, and can make any type of outfit look polished. They can be
worn with everything from business wear (particularly a pants or
skirt suit) to jeans and a nice pair of boots. Small hoop earrings
are usually measured in millimeters – 2 to 3mm is the standard, and
come in many different types of metals, including sterling silver and
10K gold. Feel free to wear other jewelry with them – even if the
metals are different – or match them accordingly.
Large Hoop Earrings
Larger hoop earrings make more of a
statement. You are more likely to see these decorated with gemstones,
have an open metal work design, or have an embossed or “cut”
pattern on them. Their larger size makes it easier to design
intricate patterns around and on them. These earrings are measured in
inches, and the size refers to the diameter. For example, you may see
them sold in 1.25 or 1.5 inch sizes. You can wear this type of
jewelry with the same outfits and on the same occasions as small hoop
earrings, however, they will call a little more attention to
themselves – and you, of course!
Hoop Earrings with Precious Gemstones
Some hoop earrings – usually the
larger ones – have larger gemstones embedded in them. You’ll
often find them in a mix of diamonds and a colored stone, arranged in
a pattern. If you happen to find a matching necklace, bracelet or
ring, you can wear them as a set for maximum impact, as long as you
keep in mind that these should be worn for special occasions,
otherwise people might just get used to seeing you in them, and that
would detract from the attention you’ll get for wearing them!
As you can see, hoop earrings are
indeed a universal type of jewelry. Thanks to their many different
styles, you might put on a pair for date night, for work, or for a
wedding or other black-tie event. There is nothing you can’t wear a
pair of them to!
