Gold Hoop Earrings
There’s something romantic and daring about gold hoop earrings. After all, the look originated with pirates and gypsies. Pirates favoured the style because the practical swashbuckler always likes to have assets that can be quickly converted to cash. Gypsies, on the other hand, wore their gold hoop earrings as status signifies for one another: the more gold jewellery a woman wore, the richer and more powerful her clan.
Gold hoop earrings are one of today’s most popular jewellery accessories, a fashion classic that should be a staple of every woman’s jewellery collection. And as more and more men become comfortable with ornamentation, gold hoop earrings have become an essential part of the well dressed male’s wardrobe as well.
If you think of gold hoop earrings as being uniform in look and design, think again. Gold hoop earrings come in a wide variety of styles. Gold hoop earrings can be either large or small, yellow gold or white gold, plain or sparkling with diamonds or sapphires. While masculine gold hoop earrings tend to be smaller and thicker than the feminine equivalent, they are equally likely to sport gemstones. A pair of bejewelled gold hoop earrings, in fact, makes a wonderful keepsake for the man in your life since it’s something he’s unlikely to buy for himself – and isn’t that the mark of a perfect gift?
The most popular way to combine gemstones with gold hoop earrings is to embellish the pieces with small round channel-set diamonds or sapphires. Another popular look with medieval nuances is the gold hoop earring encrusted with colourful amethysts, topaz, and citrines, or other semiprecious stones.
How do you pick that perfect pair of gold hoop earrings for yourself or for the special person for whom you’re buying? Mostly it’s a matter of personal taste and experience: what looks best on you? what looks best on him or her? There are a few guidelines to go by, however, if you’re a first time buyer. The lustrous gleam of 18 carat white gold sets off black or dark brown hair in a particularly striking fashion, whereas yellow gold hoop earrings are a perfect complement to lighter hair colours. One style parameter that does seem to be more or less inviolable: extra large gold hoop earrings, between 35 to 65 mm in diameter, are almost always the province of young women in their late teens and early twenties, possibly they look so terrific with long hair. When older women put on oversized hoops, they may look as though they’re trying too hard – which is entirely unnecessary when there are so many gorgeous gold hoop earrings to choose among.
