One of the oldest jewelry trends, hoop earrings have been a fashion statement for thousands of years – no, we aren’t exaggerating. Originating in 2500 B.C.E., Nubia and almost immediately picked up by the surrounding ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece, these eye-catching earrings started strong and never went out of style. A true classic, hoop earrings have been reimagined in countless designs, but always add a touch of elegance to every outfit. Looking to get into hoops or discover new ways to wear them? Class is in session. Welcome to Deutsch Fine Jewelry’s Hoops 101.

Small but Mighty

The first lesson in our hoops education is the demure huggie hoops, named for the way their tiny shape hugs the earlobe for a dainty and understated look. For a classic huggie hoop, look no further than the Deutsch Signature Rose Gold Huggie Earrings. These simple, polished rose gold huggie hoop earrings imbue a sense of understated femininity to any ensemble. For something with a little more texture, check out the Baby Hammered Hoop Earrings by Elizabeth Locke. These yellow gold huggie hoops boast a hammered finish – a look consistent with the antiquity-inspired designs of Elizabeth Locke.
