Their symbolism as indicators of identity stretches back thousands of years, including to ancient Nubia. Find a wide range 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 are C hoop earrings?

C hoop earrings are hoops with a specific design. Unlike circular hoops, they have a distinctive C shape.

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.

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.

Is 1-carat too big for earrings?

Whether 1-carat is too big for earrings is largely a matter of personal opinion and preference. Some people may prefer to wear larger 1-carat earrings for formal evening events and other special occasions. However, others will wear 1-carat earrings to help punctuate any outfit. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of gemstone earrings.

Is a 1-carat earring too big?

Whether a 1-carat earring is too big depends on your personal preferences. An individual earring with a 1-carat stone will usually cover a good portion of the earlobe without completely hiding it. As you shop for studs, keep in mind that there is a difference between total carat weight and carat weight. The carat weight refers to the weight of each earring, while the total carat weight is the combined weight of both earrings in a pair. A 1-carat earring set would actually typically include two 0.5-carat earrings, which are generally small enough to keep most of the earlobe visible. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gemstone earrings.

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.

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.

Finding the Right hoop-earrings for You

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.

The roots of the hoop-earring phenomenon literally stretch back to the dawn of civilization. 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 2,600–2,500 B.C. that experts agree is among the oldest known examples. Hoop earrings can also be found in the Met’s Egyptian art gallery as well as in the museum’s displays of Greek and Roman art.

What inspired the original hoop design and why it was adopted by so many jewelers in the ancient world are unknown. It doesn’t have an origin story, feeling rather like the jewelry equivalent of the wheel. There just seems to be a logic to a circle that goes from the front to the back of the lobe.

“Hoops have been worn for millennia because they are unfathomably chic,” says Annabel Davidson, the editor of Vanity Fair UK’s special jewelry edition. “The way they accentuate the jawline, elongate the face and add a touch of flamboyance to a look is clearly a timeless expression of confidence, femininity and sartorial savvy.”

Throughout the ages, there have been countless decorative variations of hoop earrings. While the style can be found in just about every era, it was far more popular in some periods than others. Certain looks from yesteryear reflect cultural interests, while others are purely glamourous.

On 1stDibs, shop vintage diamond hoop earrings, gold hoop earrings, contemporary hoops and many more varieties of this wildly popular accessory.

How thick should hoop earrings be?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
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.
