Round Brilliant cut hoop earrings

Hoop earrings often symbolize unity, infinity, and wholeness due to their circular shape. They can also represent cultural identity and empowerment, having historical significance in various cultures around the world.

Some hoop earrings are specifically designed to be worn on the left ear, while others are intended for the right, based on their design features. This distinction doesn't carry a universal symbolic meaning but relates to aesthetic preferences and the design of the earring.

It's generally not recommended to wear hoop earrings to bed, as they can catch on bedding or clothing, potentially causing discomfort or damage to the earrings and your ears. Smaller huggie hoops might be considered the exception as they sit closer to the earlobe.

Huggie earrings are hoop earrings that closely wrap around — or “hug” — your ear lobe. As opposed to larger hoop styles, huggies are usually more lightweight, making them perfect for everyday wear or for stacking.

Hoop earrings add dramatic style to any look, whether on their own or as part of a stack. Depending on their length, you may want to wear them with your hair pulled back or with a more open neckline. The most important thing to consider when wearing hoops is comfort. Certain hoops, depending on their design, can be heavy and pull on the lobe. It’s therefore advisable to wait a few months after a piercing before wearing substantial hoops.
