Hoop earrings have been back in style for years – and the trend just keeps growing. New designs are constantly being added, available in both silver and gold. Large, statement hoops that really stand out on the ear have gained a lot of popularity. At the same time, the traditional, minimalist hoops with a single ring through the ear remain a favorite for their timeless and elegant look.
There are earrings… and then there are gold hoops. The kind of earrings that somehow make you feel a little more put together – even on a Monday morning when your hair is quickly tied up in a bun and you really need that coffee to kick in.
I’ve always thought gold creoles are some of the easiest earrings to have in your jewellery box. They go with almost everything, never really go out of style and can look elegant, edgy or feminine depending on the size and design.
It all depends on your mood. Some days, a pair of small gold hoops that sit close to the ear is just enough. On other days, your earrings deserve to be noticed – and that’s when large gold hoops or wide, chunky creoles are hard to resist.
At Perlen, you’ll find both gold-plated styles and hoops in real gold. Some are beautifully simple and classic, while others are decorated with pearls, stones, charms or delicate details.
And if you have several ear piercings, I think it gets even better. A slightly larger gold hoop in the first piercing combined with small hoops or studs next to it creates a lovely, personal look.
For me, there’s really only one problem with gold hoops: once you have one pair, you quickly realise that you also need a small pair, a large pair and perhaps a chunky pair too… 😄
Creoles are available in prices to suit all budgets.
Whether you prefer the original silver color or whether your creoles should be silver gold-plated with 18 or 22 kt. gold, then here at www.perlenodense.com we have a large selection.
The only thing you have to remember if you choose a pair of hoops made in gold-plated silver is that it is a surface treatment and the gold-plating will wear off over time.
If you want a pair of creoles that will keep their color for many years, I would recommend choosing them in real gold.
Do you want a creole that fits the fashion here and now? Then gold-plated creoles are an excellent choice, as the price then allows slightly more replacements than otherwise.
Today, there is almost no one who does not own at least a pair of creole rings.
This applies to everyone from the very young teenage girl, to mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
In fact, it has also become quite modern for the young guys with a small hoop in their ear.
If you are looking for the latter, I recommend looking at Pernille Corydon's unisex series; Edge By Corydon.
Let’s be honest – hoop earrings are a bit like that good friend in your jewellery box you can always rely on. A pair of small silver hoops for everyday wear, large gold creoles for a night out, or chunky hoops when you feel like making a little more of a statement.
And luckily, hoops don’t all have to cost a fortune. At Perlen, you’ll find both affordable hoops and creoles as well as more exclusive designs in real gold and with diamonds. So there’s room for both the spontaneous purchase and that special pair you’ve had your eye on for a while.
I think that’s part of the fun with hoops. You can have a few classic favourites you wear again and again – and still spot another pair that you suddenly absolutely “need”. Because a jewellery collection without hoops is a bit like coffee without caffeine – it just doesn’t quite make sense.
There are not only plenty of different designs to choose from, but also different types of fastenings. In our collection, you’ll find classic gold creoles with twist or hinged fastenings as well as modern hoops with click closures, which are wonderfully easy to put on and take off.
And if you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror trying to find that tiny hole at the back of an earring while your patience slowly disappears, you’ll probably understand why I’m personally such a fan of the click closure. 😄
Small, large, affordable, exclusive, classic or chunky – luckily, there’s no rule saying you have to choose just one pair.
If you’re still not quite sure which hoop earrings to choose, Sif Jakobs and Enamel Copenhagen are two brands that I think are definitely worth a closer look. They both create plenty of hoops – but their styles are actually quite different.
Sif Jakobs has been one of our most popular brands for many years. Here you’ll find both small and large hoops with classic white cubic zirconia, as well as designs with colourful stones that add a little more fun. Many of their hoops come in different sizes, making them perfect if you like combining several earrings on the same ear.
And then there’s Enamel Copenhagen, which is personally one of my favourite brands. They are simply so good with colour. Small enamel details, pearls, charms and delicate stones regularly appear on their Enamel hoops, somehow making even the classic creole feel a little more playful.
If you prefer something simpler, there are of course plenty of more understated designs too. You’ll find both silver hoops and gold-plated hoops, so you certainly don’t have to wear the whole rainbow to fall in love with a pair.
I think these two brands show perfectly why there’s always room for several different hoops in your jewellery box: some simply need to go with everything – while others you buy because they put you in a good mood the moment you put them on.
I’ve always thought silver hoops are one of the easiest pieces to have in your jewellery box. They go with almost everything, and while gold creates a warm look, silver has a cooler and more understated feel that many people prefer.
At Perlen, you’ll find hoop earrings in silver in many different sizes. From tiny hoops that sit close to the ear to large silver hoops, wide creoles and designs decorated with stones, pearls or small charms.
If you love a classic look, you can hardly go wrong with a pair of simple sterling silver hoops. And if you have several ear piercings, silver is incredibly easy to play around with – try a larger hoop in the first piercing with a couple of small hoops or studs next to it.
The great thing about silver hoop earrings is that they can be as subtle or as bold as you like. Some days they should barely be noticeable – on other days, they can happily take up half your ear.
