Hoop earrings have been back in a big way for a while. The modern way to wear them? As a chic earscape featuring stacking huggies and glittering stones. From chunky gold cuffs to delicate diamonds, vintage door knockers to extended rings, there’s a hoop out there for every lobe this season.
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, Yvonne Leon, and we-want-every-pair hoop queen Jacquie Aiche 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?
Bottega Veneta Dragon hoop earrings
These textured lovelies hug the lobe and are designed to be worn in the first or second hole as opposed to further up the ear. Made from 18-karat gold-plated sterling silver, and ideal for day or night, these Year of the Dragon-themed earrings are a great entry level option when it comes to adding a designer heavyweight to your jewellery box.
Marc Jacobs Flat Logo hoop earrings
Marc Jacobs is practically giving away this new collection of chunky flat logo earrings, which could easily slip under the radar brand-wise as just an open, rectangular hoop. Available in gold and silver, dipped in enamel or encrusted with crystals, who says you must stop at just one pair?
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 18-karat 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 Twisted Wave hoop earrings
Somewhere between sophisticated and fun, these twisted wave hoops tick every box. Boasting a total weight of 0.14-carats, they’ll bring the bling no problem, while we particularly love the hint of neon pink enamel for a flash of fun.
Yvonne Léon 9-karat gold 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.
