Timeless elegance: hoop earrings, both gold and silver, never go out of style.
Ability to enhance the face: well chosen, they balance proportions and highlight your features.
Remember: the size, thickness, and finish of the hoops can completely change the perception of your look.
Can hoop earrings be worn to a wedding?
