In short
- Huggies sit close to the lobe; medium hoops frame the face.
- Fine hoops stack well, while chunky or ridged hoops stand on their own.
- Round hoops are classic; C-shaped and sculpted hoops look lighter.
Gold hoops go with everything, which is why most people own more than one pair. The right pair depends on three things: size, thickness and shape.
Size
Small hoops, often called huggies, sit close to the lobe and are easy to wear every day. Medium hoops frame the face without catching on hair or collars. Larger hoops make more of a statement and suit evenings and simple outfits.
Thickness and texture
Fine hoops look delicate and stack well. Chunky or ridged hoops catch the light and stand on their own. If you wear a lot of necklaces, choose a finer hoop; if your earrings are the main piece, go bolder.

Shape
Round hoops are classic. C-shaped hoops sit open at the front and look lighter. Sculpted and twisted hoops add movement. Browse all our hoop earrings to compare them side by side.
