Endless Hoop Earrings

A must-have in your wardrobe, hoop earrings are one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry.  The past few seasons have given a lot of emphasis on the neck and the wrist. Powerful trends that dominated the jewelry section included power beads along with dramatic bracelets. Now, the attention is back on the ears.

The gutsy hoop styles make a huge comeback with the Fashion Week collection in New York. With the recent return to 80s glam styles, I feel this retro trend is here to stay. Celebrities like Diana Ross and Jennifer Lopez have been lovers of hoops for a long time.

Those who haven’t experimented with hoops don’t know what they are missing out on. These chic earrings are a perfect style-statement for both formal and casual occasions. Large hoop earrings should be a vital part of your jewelry box. I have a pair of 14K yellow gold hoops that are modern yet classic. Any occasion is appropriate to flaunt these fashionable, beautiful hoop earrings. My mother had something similar in her jewelry box and I hope I can pass mine to my daughter someday.

If you are not very fond of gold, a pair of silver hoop earrings will still give you contemporary over-the-top glamor.  Double hoop earrings will have you looking like a diva – I particularly love the Ross Simon cool double design, which has nice mix of smooth and textured finish. The clutch earrings are set in polished sterling silver giving it a contemporary and yet classy finish.

There are so many more varieties of hoops that you can check out.

• Endless hoop earrings. These earrings create an illusion of an endless circle or ring. They come in plain gold, bronze, silver or even steel.  More colorful endless earrings are available, but may be more difficult to find.

• Chandelier style earrings. These earrings come with added beads and stones in the hoops. Bvlgari and other fashion labels have launched some exquisite hoop designs this year with intense color palettes. So experiment and find the style that suits you best!
