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.

Questions About Flat Hoop Earrings
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    No, hoop earrings are not outdated.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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    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.
  • 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    What gold hoop earrings mean is a matter of personal interpretation. In ancient Greece and Rome, gold hoops were a symbol of wealth and power. They were also a status symbol in ancient Egypt, where the warm color of the metal and the circular shape represented the sun god Ra. Today, many people don't assign any symbolic meaning to the earrings and instead wear gold hoops because they like their appearance. On 1stDibs, find a selection of gold hoop earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The average or standard size for hoop earrings is 20 to 30 millimeters. At 20 millimeters, hoops are roughly the size of a penny, while 25-millimeter hoops compare to a quarter. Half dollars are around the same size as 30-millimeter hoop earrings. Shop a diverse assortment of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    What you call small hoop earrings depends on their style. Hoops so small that they touch the earlobe are known as huggie earrings or huggies because they look like they are hugging the lobes. Slightly larger small hoops that leave space between the metal and the earlobe may be referred to as sleeper or sleeper-style earrings. Explore a variety of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Whether you can sleep with gold hoop earrings on largely depends on personal preference and the size of the earrings. Smaller huggies and sleeper-style hoops may not get in the way of sleep.
