What is an infinity hoop earring?

An infinity hoop earring is a circular earring made of a hollow wire tube. One end of the earring slips into the tube, so once the hoops are in place, you can't see the closure. Some people also refer to this type of earring as an infinite hoop or endless hoop. Shop a variety of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What is a huggie hoop earring?

A huggie hoop earring is a hoop earring that is so small that it touches the bottom of the ear lobe. As a result, the earring looks like it's hugging the ear. Usually, huggie earrings are thick and have either a lever or hinged closure. Find a variety of huggie hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

Why are hoop earrings attractive?

Hoop earrings are attractive for a number of reasons. First, they create a flattering frame for the face. Depending on their shape and size, they can draw attention to key features like the jawline, cheekbones or eyes. Hoop earrings also produce subtle, graceful movements that don't distract attention from the face the way some dangle earrings can. Plus, hoop earrings can coordinate with a wide range of attire, from jeans to little black dresses to formal wear. Find a wide variety of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

Are hoop earrings out of style?

Hoop earrings are unlikely to ever be out of style. Even though trends frequently change, hoops have been popular for centuries, and for good reason, because they are stunning and easy to wear. From season to season, some variation of hoop earrings is usually trending, and the classic simple round hoop in a silver or gold tone is a timeless look. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of hoop earrings.

What do hoop earrings symbolize?

What hoop earrings symbolize is open to interpretation. Due to their shape, some people associate hoops with eternity, unity or balance. To others, they represent prestige, wealth or power. It's also possible to wear hoop earrings without assigning any special symbolic meaning to them. Explore a wide range of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

Are hoop earrings outdated?

No, hoop earrings are not outdated. In fact, it is almost impossible to overstate how popular hoop earrings are today. They are routinely seen adorning the ears of high-profile women, ranging from Michelle Obama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B. For the Spring 2019 collections, statement hoops showed up in the runway shows of Valentino, Sonia Rykiel and Loewe, among many others. Find hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What are C hoop earrings?

C hoop earrings are hoops with a specific design. Unlike circular hoops, they have a distinctive C shape. At the top of the C is usually a post that slips into your ear piercing and is secured by a backing. The bottom end of the C usually hits behind or below the ear, depending on the size of the earrings. Shop a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What are Creole hoop earrings?

Creole hoop earrings are round earrings with a certain design. Their name comes from the tradition of their wear by women of African descent in the Caribbean and New Orleans, giving them another name: New Orleans hoops. Unlike other hoops that are of uniform thickness from end to end, Creole hoops vary in thickness. Most are thinner at the ends and thickest along the bottom part that hangs below the ear. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Creole hoop earrings.

How thick should hoop earrings be?

How thick hoop earrings should be depends on your personal preferences. Thickness will impact how hoops feel and look. Many people find small, thick huggie hoop earrings to be comfortable and versatile enough for everyday wear. Large, thick hoops are often reserved for nights out or special occasions, as their size can make them heavy. If you're looking for infinity hoops that are free of posts and wires, consider the diameter of your piercing when comparing thicknesses. Because these earrings slide through the ear, the thickest ones may not fit some piercings. Shop a diverse assortment of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

Are hoop earrings in Style 2020?

Bigger hoop earrings are in style for 2020, while thicker hoop earrings are often characterized as a fun and more noticeable accessory than some other earrings.

How do I know my earring hoop size?

To know your hoop earrings size, consider how and when you intend to wear your new jewelry. For everyday wear, you may want to focus on smaller hoops, such as those that are 15 to 20 millimeters or between the size of a dime and a penny. Hoops that are 20 to 40 millimeters in diameter are considered medium in size and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. If you're looking for bold, statement-making earrings for a special occasion, consider hoops that are 50 millimeters (about the size of a golf ball) or larger. Trying on different sizes of hoops can help you decide what you like the best. Find a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What culture wears hoop earrings?

Many cultures have worn hoop earrings over the centuries. The ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Persians and Nubians all sported hoops. Today, people from many cultures wear hoops, and the earrings have become especially popular in the Black and Latina communities, largely due to the influence of the hip-hop fashion trends of the early 2000s. Find a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What is a big size for hoop earrings?

A big size for hoop earrings is 40 millimeters and up. At 40 millimeters, hoops are roughly the size of a ping pong ball, while 50-millimeter hoops resemble a golf ball. The largest hoops are generally 60 to 70 millimeters� the sizes of billiard balls and baseballs, respectively. On 1stDibs, find a variety of hoop earrings.

Can you wear hoop earrings with pearls?

Yes, you can wear hoop earrings with pearls. The secret is to choose a size that suits the moment. For Sunday brunch or a more casual occasion, hoop earrings that are around 20 to 30 millimeters in diameter are often just right to complement pearls. Go smaller if you're wearing your pearl-and-hoops combo to the office, and don't be afraid to opt for big and bold for a night out. On 1stDibs, explore a large assortment of hoop earrings.

Are hoop earrings old fashioned?

Whether hoop earrings are old-fashioned is a matter of personal opinion. Hoop earrings have been around since 2500 B.C., when African artisans first began producing them out of bronze, silver and gold. The ancient Egyptians would later wear them as well. During the 1920s, hoop earrings became a trend in the United States when the opening of King Tutankhamen's tomb sparked renewed interest in Egyptian jewelry. Since then, hoops have largely remained in style, and today they have become staples of hip-hop, Black and Latina cultures. Shop a large selection of hoop earrings.

Can you sleep in endless hoop earrings?

Whether you can sleep in endless hoop earrings depends largely on their size. Small-sized endless or eternity hoops may not get in the way of a good night's rest. However, larger styles may get caught on your pillow or your hair during the night. For safety, it's typically a good idea to remove all endless hoop earrings before sleeping. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of hoop earrings.

What are the easiest hoop earrings to put in?

What hoop earrings are the easiest to put in is largely a matter of personal opinion. Some people find C hoops easy to get on and off because they feature a post and push-on backing. Others may prefer the simplicity of the hinge closure, which snaps into place once you have your earrings in position. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of hoop earrings.

What do you wear with gold hoop earrings?

You can wear almost anything with gold hoop earrings. Use gold hoops to coordinate with your favorite casual tee-and-jeans combo or a tank top and shorts in the summer. They can add polish when worn with a casual sundress, office wear or a little black dress for evenings out. Find a large selection of gold hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What is a double-sided hoop earring?

A double-sided hoop earring is a round earring that looks the same both in the front and in the back. It may be a continuous circle with a hidden closure or feature a hinged wire closure at the top. Double-sided hoops differ from C hoops that have a distinctive C shape and a post backing. With C hoops, the curve of the earring travels from the front of the ear at the piercing and then reaches under the lobe. As a result, the earring doesn't look the same on both sides. Find a large selection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

What do silver hoop earrings mean?

What silver hoop earrings mean is open to interpretation. Some people associate hoops with power, while others believe they symbolize unity or wholeness. Possible meanings for silver include energy, wealth and modernity. Although there are numerous ways to interpret silver hoop earrings as a symbol, many people wear them simply because they find the jewelry visually appealing rather than to convey a specific message. Shop an assortment of silver hoop earrings on 1stDibs.

Finding the Right earrings for You

In the United States, ear piercing didn’t really become popular until the 1950s and ‘60s, but our desire for a dazzling pair of vintage earrings has deeper roots than that. In fact, wearing earrings actually goes back thousands of years, and you can find many tangible connections between now and then in how we continue to talk about these treasured accessories.

Women wore ornamental earrings — studs and hoops at the very least — in Ancient Egypt, which is home to mines that are among the earliest sources of emeralds in the world. Emerald earrings are highly prized today, and their quality lies in their rich, saturated color. The highest-quality emeralds are green or bluish-green. Earrings worn by the affluent in early Roman civilizations were set with precious stones such as diamonds and pearls, and a clean-looking pop of pearl on the front of the lobe is as timeless as ever. Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C.

Today, ear piercing is very popular all over the world, and, as a result, it is difficult to overstate how much everyone pines for a good pair of earrings — modernist drop earrings, glamorous Victorian hoops, geometrically complex chandelier earrings, you name it. Sure, jewelry trends and the fashion darlings of social media come and go, but earrings have a staying power that seems impenetrable: The still-strong love affair between British royals and Cartier earrings is more than a century old, glossy 1970s hoops from legacy houses such as Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels remain the statement makers they’ve always been and although people have been stacking earrings for many moons, the allure of an expertly mismatched stack of charms and studs still feels fresh and new.

While there is no shortage of modern earring designs to choose from, the classics, like coral earrings, Art Deco–style earrings and diamond drop earrings are still heavy hitters. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage earrings today.

1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
