Finding the perfect hoop size

When it comes to hoop earrings, size does matter! So pick the perfect size to frame your face to the best effect! Face shapes are important, and so are the placement of your ear piercings. Follow these handy tips to find your ideal match.

♦ Huggies are the smallest hoops. They are generally a good fit for small-faced women of petite stature. As the name suggests, these tiny hoop earrings hug your earlobes snugly for a cute look. Huggies can be as small as 8mm to 1cm (0.25-0.5 inches) in diameter. Tiny silver huggie hoops are best suited for tragus, conch and helix ear piercings.

♦ Small hoop earrings in silver range from 2.5cm to 3cm (1-1.8 inches) in diameter. They make great accessories for those who like minimalist jewellery or multiple piercings. Small hoops are fantastic when artfully arranged with other complementary earring styles or even different-sized hoops.

♦ Medium hoops in silver have a diameter that is about 4-5cm (1.5-2 inches). Noticeable yet unpretentious, these are great for nearly every face shape. You can reach for medium silver hoops when you want something playful yet modest. Especially flattering for long and angular faces, these medium hoops do a fine job of softening the sharp features and creating a look of fuller contours. Add a sterling silver earring pendant, and you have nailed the look.

♦ Large silver hoops are cool yet, bold and thoroughly striking. These big hoop earrings measure 6-10cm (2.3-4 inches) in diameter and add a healthy dose of drama to your look. The large and extra-large silver hoops are showstoppers and are best paired with demure necklaces and other delicate pieces for maximum effect.

Styling with silver hoop earring design variations

As well as size, there is a variety of hoop designs that can add another dimension to your look. You can style them in pairs or as singles in asymmetric uber-stylish combinations. When carefully chosen, silver hoop earrings are representative of elegance and good taste and accentuate facial features beautifully, drawing attention to the cheekbones. That’s why silver hoops are power accessories, and they are here to stay!

Design varieties in silver hoops for your collection

♦ Thick silver hoops are perfect for when you need to make an entrance. Also called chunky hoops, this style can add substantial bling depending on the materials used in the hoop design. Thicker hoops seem more solid, but clever, modern design makes them light and easy to wear.

♦ Thin silver hoops are what you reach for when you want a look that is stylish yet not overpowering. These are great for all seasons and reasons. As long as you have piercings to spare, you could also layer them with other earrings like studs and huggies to striking effect.

♦ Structured, twisted and faceted silver hoops feature a ribbon-like twist or a cut in their form, which adds depth and sparkle to the basic polished hoop style. Structured silver hoops feature bold contours and unusual textures that result in a powerful attraction to these gorgeous works of wearable art.

♦ Silver hoops with charms add a playful element and can bring your brand of quirkiness to the simple silver hoop.

♦ Silver and diamond, pearls or cubic zirconia hoops are vibrant luxury pieces, adding sparkle, lustre, and colour to the conventional hoop styles.

Come, discover the allure of silver hoops. Return to the essentials with minimalist sterling silver hoops for everyday wear or dress them up and add colour with pavé-set cubic zirconia, gemstones or pearls. Whether you're into boho-chic, elegantly modern, contemporary, edgy, or bold glamour, silver hoops are today's must-have accessory.
