You have probably already guessed that diamond hoop earrings are shaped like a hoop! The hoop is almost a complete circle and depending on the type of fitting, either meets itself or has a butterfly to secure the post to the ear.
Diamond hoop earrings usually have diamonds set into the metal (usually gold) from the top of the outside of the hoop, to the bottom of the outside of the hoop. That is, only on side of the hoop. The earrings are designed like this so that not too many diamonds are used and thus to keep the earrings affordable. At the end of the day, people only see the front outside of the hoop so why spend money on diamonds that people are not going to see! Some diamond hoop earrings also have diamonds set in the back part of the hoop that faces forwards as this part of the earring can be seen when you look at the earrings at an angle. This is a more expensive option but does show off more diamonds.
The sizes of the hoop earrings vary widely. From tiny hoop earrings for babies all the way to large 4 inches in diameter and more!
The larger hoop earrings are also known as gypsy earrings largely because of the stereotypical image of a gypsy woman looking at a crystal ball! They are very much in fashion and you may have seen Jennifer Lopez wearing them in a few photos.
The diamond hoop earrings tend to be smaller more elegant in size, also because the larger the earrings, the more diamonds, making it quite an expensive piece of diamond jewellery.
Hoop earrings need not be perfectly circular and come in various widths too. 2 rows of diamonds are common and even half circles too.
Diamond hoop earrings are very popular for everyday wear as they are quite comfortable and on the whole are very attractive. Go on treat yourself, you won’t regret it!
