Antique, New and Vintage Gold Huggie Hoop Earrings
Need a finishing touch? A pair of textured gold huggie hoop earrings can bring an extra dose of glamour to that dazzling ensemble you put together for tonight's event.
Hoops are always chic, but the small sizes are more versatile, making antique, new and vintage huggie hoop earrings the ideal jewel for a day that has you dashing between yoga class, business meetings and a much-needed night out. “Hugging” the earlobe so they won’t get tangled in your hair or catch on clothing, a good pair of huggies make any outfit you wear feel that much more put together.
Hoop earrings have existed almost as long as humans have, and they have been symbols and indicators of identity, such as in ancient Nubia. These accessories were once worn by royalty, including in ancient Egypt. They have often been made from metals like gold, silver and bronze.
Everyone from Maria of Portugal, Princess of Parma, in the 16th century to Josephine Baker in the 20th century has made this type of earrings a part of their style. Now, internationally revered luxury houses such as Tiffany & Co. and Cartier have hoop earrings in their collections.
There are myriad variations to choose from: A textured gold style is a great place to start; check out diamond huggies or pairs with colored gemstones when you’re ready for a little extra sparkle. With some huggie-hoop styles, you can thread on collectible charms for even more mix-and-match versatility — and opportunities to treat yourself!

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.
