HOW TO: Choose Hoop Earrings

Things to remember when it comes to hoop earrings:
  • The best way to make any look sexier is to put on a pair of hoops
  • EVERY woman looks sensational in a pair of hoops
  • Hoops never have, and never will go out of style, just like a black pump or your favorite LBD.

Which pair of hoops is best for you?
You’ll either fall in love with a pair, put them on, and you’re done because you’ll never want to take them off. Or, you’ll want to acquire a small collection of hoops for different occasions, outfits and moods. Either way, you first need to find which hoops look best on you.  
What to look for when trying on hoops:

The weight of the hoop
You want them to be comfortable enough for you to wear all day, or all night! Gabriel & Co. hoops are so light, it makes wearing every size a possibility.

The size of the hoop
The larger the hoop is, the more movement it will have, and the more it will frame your face, which will garner more attention.

The metals and details


Do you prefer gold or silver, diamond adorned or other precious stones? Do you like a sleek style or more ornate, perhaps with a filigree detail? Try on a few styles; you never know which pair, (or pairs) work for you!

 The length of your hair
 Will a delicate and dainty hoop get lost in your long luscious locks? Is a big hoop going to overwhelm a short crop, or perfectly juxtapose a bob?  How does the effect of the hoop change when you wear your hair up or down?


The shape of your jawline

The sparkle and size of the stones
