Sterling silver hoop earrings are always in style, but what image comes to mind when you hear the term "sterling silver hoops?" If the first thing you visualize is plain round hoops you definitely need to explore the alternatives. Here are ten unique pairs of silver hoop earrings to get you started.
Two overlapping sterling silver hoops flow together to create earrings that are about 1-inch in diameter. The pierced earrings are held in place by latch backs.
Two lengths of sterling silver are gently twisted around each other to form these showy, but classic, hoop earrings.
Little diamonds appear to wrap around the gentle twist of these showy sterling silver hoops.
Be sure to look at the close-up detail of these sterling silver and gold hoops. They are made from sterling silver rope chain intertwined with 18k yellow gold cable chain. The hoops have posts and push backs for pierced ears.
Imagine this -- a thick, sterling silver oval is split at the top and opened slightly at the split, then one "leg" is pushed sideways. The front leg holds a post that goes through your ear lobe and the back leg sits behind your lobe, creating a somewhat twisted oval shape. Better yet, go
take a look, because these silver hoops are real attention getters.
These sterling silver earrings have a polished finish and are held to your pierced ear with a post and clip wire. These are fairly large hoops, measuring 37mm in length. Identical,
but smaller, hoops are available.
Highly polished sterling silver earrings have a open, geometric motif that's 7mm wide. They're 17mm long -- not huge hoops that take over your ensemble -- but offer a simple, elegant look with plenty of visual texture.
Oval hoops fashioned from smooth sterling silver dangle gracefully from your ear lobes.
These silver earrings are not traditional, open hoops, they're more decorative. I included them because they are unique, with the bottom area of each hoop an intricate design produced using the
lost-wax technique. The designs depict swallows in flight.
These thin, handcrafted hoop earrings have floral-like scrolled cutouts around their perimeter. The hoops drop about 1.7".
