Diamond Hoop Earrings Sizes

Diamond hoop earrings are a staple jewelry piece that every woman should have in her jewelry armoire. Slightly more complex than classic diamond stud earrings, hoop earrings come in a range of sizes and widths. The ideal size depends on factors such as your age, lifestyle, and the occasion. To help you determine which size of diamond hoop earrings suits you best, Anjolee  has created this helpful online shopping size guide.

Small

Between the sizes of 0.5” and 1.0” (12mm to 25mm), the smallest of diamond hoop earrings are often referred to as huggies. Named so because these small twinkling earrings hug the earlobes, they are perfect for everyday wear. The small size is suitable for young girls and sophisticated older women alike. Small diamond hoop earrings look great in a variety of widths and styles like the gorgeous Small 3 Row Diamond Hoop Earrings. From the size of a dime to the size of a quarter, small diamond hoop earrings are favored by active and athletic women. They are also excellent for wearing at the office, on a hike or any casual engagement.

Medium

A small step up in size (about the size of a half dollar coin) are medium diamond hoop earrings. These luxurious diamond earrings range in diameters of 1.0” to 1.5” (25mm – 40mm) and are available in many unique style variations. Medium hoop earrings look great with both long and short hair and are best for women in their thirties to fifties. The size is ideal for showing off the circular shape in innovative ways such as adding colorful gemstones and highlighting diamonds in 14k rose gold or 18k yellow gold. With round brilliant diamonds set in 18k white gold or premium platinum, these medium hoop earrings are great for any special occasion, from cocktail parties and bridal showers to fancy art galas.

Large

Full of sparkle and style, large diamond hoop earrings are between 1.5” and 2” (40mm to 50mm) in diameter. These stunning earrings are noticeable, but not overpowering. They are perfect for a night out wearing your favorite dress, hair up and red lipstick on. Thin gold large hoops are a necessity for any hip urban girl or fashion diva. Other styles of large diamond hoop earrings have an elegant and graceful feel to them such as the enchanting Inside Out Diamond Pave Hoop Earrings in platinum. Large diamond hoop earrings are generally reserved to women under the age of 40.

Extra Large

If you really want to make a statement, extra large diamond hoop earrings are just the right piece of eye catching jewelry. Hoop earrings over 2” (50mm) in diameter are a favorite of trendsetters and fashionistas. Although not suitable for all day wear, extra large hoops are amazing for club hopping and red carpet affairs. Showstopping extra large diamond hoop earrings are an eclectic look that is guaranteed to set you apart from everyone else at the party. Keep in mind that the larger the hoop, the more attention is drawn to your face.
