Hoop hoop earrings!

This time my article is going to be a bit different. Can you guess which are the most affordable pieces of earrings? Hoop earrings! Every woman loves them and I believe that each one of us has at least 1 pair of these on our collection (some have more than one, as me)! 

 

Personal collection of hoop earrings

Hoop earrings were, are and will remain a big trend, possibly forever! They come in different shapes, sizes and styles and they can be worn from day to night with almost any outfit. The most important thing about these earrings are the metals that they are made of. Silver and gold alloys are measured for their purity as a degree of fineness out of 1000. The majority of hoop earrings, which are the most affordable ones, are made of 925 sterling silver. These earrings can give a slight glow on an everyday simple outfit and add a fancy style on it. They can be long or short in size, circular, oval, square or rectangular in shape. Sometimes they can be plain or with gemstones and other ornamental materials.

 The first pair of earrings is made of 925 sterling silver and it is from Kingsley Ryan collection. It is short in size and circular in shape. It displays a characteristic twist of metals, which makes it more unique and different. The second pair of hoop earrings is also made of 925 sterling silver and it is from Silver Groves collection. This pair is longer than the first one, which makes it perfect if you have long hair and it shows an oval shape and a plain design, for all of you who prefer simple and chic jewellery. Both of these two pairs are perfect for every occasion, from work in the morning until late drinks with friends in the evening. They can basically be worn all day and all night long.

Long circular 18ct rose gold vermeil plated hoop earrings with turquoise stones by Hurleyburley gifts

 The pair of hoop earrings depicted on the photo above, is an 18 carat rose gold vermeil plated metal, by Hurleyburley gifts, in a long size and circular shape. Basically, when a piece of jewellery is vermeil plated, this means that it is silver which is plated with a very thin layer of gold or rose gold. In this case 925 sterling silver is plated with 18 carat rose gold. This pair of earrings has turquoise gemstones, which display their characteristic greenish blue colour. Turquoise is a porous polycrystalline material, so you need to avoid the  contact with hairsprays, perfumes or make-up when you wear it. This gemstone suits perfectly a summer look, especially if you are on holidays and have got a natural tan. They can be worn on a more special occasion, such as a wedding or a night with friends in a bar.

There is a great variety of hoop earrings that you can find either in jewellery shops or online. Whichever style you prefer, one thing is certain. You will keep it for many years and it will still be in fashion!
