Hoop earrings are earrings in the shape of a ring or half-ring that wrap the earlobe, forming a closed or almost closed circle. It is one of the oldest and most versatile forms of earring, known since ancient civilisations (Egypt, Greece, Rome). Hoops come in any size — from tiny ones that delicately encircle the lobe to large, dramatic hoops that became a symbol of boldness, character and street chic (recall the aesthetic of hip-hop and Latin American culture). They are made of gold, silver, adorned or smooth. Hoop earrings add dynamism and confidence to a look. Hoop earrings are an ancient, versatile form of earring, in which a closed circle frames the lobe, combining a millennia-old tradition with a character and expressiveness that ranges from delicate everyday classics to bold, dramatic street chic.
