Hoop earrings have been back in a big way for a while. There’s the jewellery box classic of plain and simple, gold or silver, sparkly or shiny, but then there’s bolder, thicker variations, adorned with diamonds, pearls and a spot of colour. From chunky gold cuffs to delicate diamonds, vintage door knockers to extended rings, there’s a hoop out there for every lobe this season.
The modern way to wear them? As a chic earscape featuring stacking huggies and glittering stones. If you’re all about the unique, vintage look, then authentic ‘80s and ‘90s pieces from the likes of Dior will be sure to turn heads, courtesy of fashion archive keeper Susan Caplan Vintage. Modern shapes from Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Marc Jacobs, meanwhile, take the classic gold hoop and turn it on its spherical head, as well as, perhaps surprisingly, offering some great entry-level options.
For a more glam look, investment sets from Ananya and Yvonne Leon are timelessly beautiful, whether sparkling with diamonds or glistening with pearls. Over at Kiki McDonough, detachable designs tick the day-to-night box with a host of elegant options: who doesn’t like to have it both ways?

Otiumberg Oval Diamond Hoops
Looking for a classic hoop with a quirky twist? Enter Otiumberg’s oval-shaped design, made from nine-karat solid yellow gold and dusted with white channel diamonds. A must-have accessory to add a little twinkle and a lot of style.
Bottega Veneta Carnelian hoop earrings
Showcasing the brand’s Italian quality craftsmanship, these lovelies are made from 18-karat yellow-gold plated sterling silver with a polished finish and hinged-snap fastening. Hugging the lobe with their carved design, these warm-hued Carnelian hoops are a great entry-level option when it comes to adding a designer heavyweight to your jewellery box.
Marc Jacobs The Monogram hoop earrings
Taking inspiration from the classic ball chains and reimagining them into a chunky hoop, Marc Jacobs has created a bold pair of versatile earrings, ideal for day and night. A blend of brass, titanium and cubic zirconia, the thick circles are monogram-engraved on alternating beads and style perfectly with workwear and party dresses alike.
1980s vintage Christian Dior door knocker clip-on earrings
If you can get to grips with a clip-on (pardon the pun) then you’ll love these authentic vintage door knockers from Dior. More Princess Di than Pat Butcher, these petite rope textured rings will work best with an LBD or classic Breton and pale jean combo.
Anita Ko large gold hoop earrings
Simplicity and elegance are the name of the game with these understated yet oversized statement hoops. Available in both rose and yellow gold (18-karat), they drop around two inches below the lobe – framing the jawline perfectly.
Balenciaga Loop XXS hoop earrings
A spot on first-in-command for a cluster of delicate, stacked cuffs, these unusual, curved hoops can work whatever the outfit or occasion. Available in gold or silver, you can leave them in all week long without even having to think about it.
Ananya rose gold diamond earrings
With a cluster of sparkling yellow, white, pink, peach, and green diamonds, these achingly elegant statement hoops are not to be worn lightly. Ideal for going out-out, they’ll take centre stage whatever you wear – so keep it simple, and let your lobes do the talking.
Kiki McDonough Firefly Detachable Hoop Earrings
Designer Kiki McDonough was inspired by her travels and, in particular, the fireflies in New Orleans when designing this collection. And these beauties will be sure to brighten up your jewellery box, too. If you buy just one pair of hoops, make it these detachable gems – the ultimate best of both worlds.
L’Atelier Nawbar Bamboo hoop earrings
Somewhere between sophisticated and fun, these angular hoops tick every box. Handmade from 18-karat gold with a sprinkling of diamonds, we particularly love the hint of pretty pink enamel for a flash of fun.
Yvonne Léon diamond hoop earrings
The organic loops of diamonds on these dreamy hoops bring an air of modernity to the everyday silhouette. Made from nine-karat gold and wound with a spiral of shimmering gray diamonds, they’re as unique as they are good looking.
Jacquie Aiche Sophia diamond hoop earrings
Set with prongs on to a slender hoop of 14-karat gold, all focus is pulled to the graduated round-cut diamonds of these Sophia earrings. Statement without being in your face, they’re a safe bet when it comes to sophistication and style, whatever the occasion.
