Small Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings are a timeless classic in earring fashion. They appeal to women of all ages, bearing all fashion styles. While many types of earrings tend to go in and out of fashion trends, classic hoop earrings are commonly found and are a constant in jewelry trends. Hoop earrings can be made from a variety of materials: yellow or white gold, sterling silver, stainless steel.



Small hoop earrings can often be considered preferable to large hoop earrings for a variety of reasons. Small hoops are tastefully quiet and mute, and make a dazzling appearance without being too loud in presence. They look terrific on any wearer, of about any age, depending on theexact styling of the jewelry. And when weight of the jewelry is considered, small hoop earrings are much lighter and easier to manage than those that are larger in size. Small hoop earrings are typically made from gold, silver, precious or semi-precious stones, or a mix of these materials together.



It is not uncommon to find earrings made out of multiple colors of gold. Sometimes small hoop earrings are made from other metals like titanium or nickel, plastic, or even rubber.



Earrings made from cheaper materials like plastics are commonly found in boutiques targeting a younger audience. These styles of small hoop earrings at are very cheap in price and are usually mass-produced.

Earrings that are made from more expensive materials, like gold, can sometimes be found at boutiques but are more common in finer department stores, jewelry stores, and shopping mall kiosks. Silver-based earrings are sold and found just about anywhere and can range from fairly cheap in price to rivaling that of more basic gold earrings. Small hoop earrings in gold are going to be the most pricey, and depending on the design can be up to several hundred in price, especially if decorated with precious or semi-precious stones. It is even possible to find a finer jeweler that will make custom designed earrings.



Shopping on the internet for small hoops will uncover any of these styles, and often at a cheaper price, but one must be careful of what they are purchasing on the internet, that it is of the integrity advertised. If online shopping is preferred, try to buy from a reputable source. Online shopping can sometimes be more difficult, especially when it comes to asking questions or trying to examine the details of a particular pair of earrings closely.



If shopping for earrings for oneself, it can be a good idea to take a small mirror to hold up jewelry to one’s ear, to get an idea of how they might look when wearing them. Or, take a friend for a second opinion. If shopping for small hoop earrings as a gift, consider the age and personal tastes of the wearer. Some earrings are only suitable for a younger person or an older person, and might not look quite right otherwise. Another consideration is allergy to the material from which they are made — if in question, go with gold as few people have an allergy to gold. And, ask the salesperson any questions before purchase.
