Who suits hoop earrings?

Rings are one of the traditional forms of earrings. Despite its age and appearance, it never became a classic. Conservative women rarely turn to her, preferring more “noble” solutions. The explanation for this lies in history. For a long time, the object was considered the property of a certain culture and class, standing on the social ladder very far from European aristocrats and the American elite.

What kind of earrings and rings are these?

Ear decoration. It has the shape of a hollow circle (there are also partially filled ones). It can be made of noble (gold, silver, platinum) or ferrous metal, as well as plastic and wood. The products are decorated with real stones and ordinary glass, patterns and engravings. There are options without any additional “zest” - just the form and nothing else.

Typical sizes:

• 10–15 mm (children's jewelry);
• up to 10 cm (adult everyday jewelry);
• more than 10 cm in diameter (products worn on catwalks by women of some African tribes).

Second name of the decoration: Congo. It refers to the origins of decoration, to Africa. This is where the fashion for wearing rings in the ears came from. However, today few people care about the ethnic component of such earrings. They have long since become a universal, nationally uncolored object that can be used in different occasions in life: from walking the dog to a wedding.

Who can wear these?

To determine the appropriateness, it is worth taking into account the shape of the face, the size of its individual parts and the characteristics of the jewelry itself.

Fat

Wide earrings require caution. They Recommended for girls with ideal face shape and tone. They should also be worn by women with a very elongated oval and those who want to soften the angles and expression of their features. This primarily applies to those with a square chin or diamond-shaped oval.

Important! Thick rings visually round out the face.

Large

This category includes products with a diameter of 2 cm or more. The sizes are typical for classic congas; originally all hoop earrings were large.

The basic rule of wearing is to maintain proportions.. Massive jewelry always looks good with large, expressive features. Not thick, but large earrings are worth buying for girls with large or long faces, as well as those with a thin, graceful neck.

Important! Oval, broken and elongated earrings can soften the expression of a completely round face. The ideal solution for such ladies: teardrop-shaped decoration.

Second wearing rule: massive jewelry is a bright accent that should not be complemented by other provocative accessories, shapes or prints. If you don’t want to pretend to be a girl from the 90s, then you should try to soften the provocative effect of earrings with neutral or formal clothing. But you should refrain from daring outfits until you go to a club or other place where some eroticism and sensual shocking will be appropriate.

Third rule: really big earrings are not suitable for everyday wear. The explanation for this lies in the weight of the product. The size is often tied to the weight, especially if the jewelry is made of metal and also decorated with stones on top. Not a single earlobe can withstand such pressure. It will definitely become deformed, and the hole for the piercing will stretch along with it if you start using massive rings on a regular basis.

Little ones

Small earrings are considered a safe option, which, if they don’t make you look better, at least won’t make things worse. Signs and features that may be enhanced by miniature rings:

• lack of pronounced cheekbones;
• square face shape;
• short neck.

Wherein The versatility of small rings ends where flashy neck jewelry or voluminous hair begin. A voluminous hairstyle will visually absorb tiny earrings, they will no longer stand out in any way, and luxurious massive necklaces, especially those inlaid with expensive stones, will reduce the price and make the earrings unprofitable.

Silver

Unlike gold, silver hoop earrings look elegant regardless of their size and accompanying decor. They are more universal and democratic, and do not oblige anyone to anything. Wear them to work, on weekends and during important moments in your life - silver earrings will be appropriate in each of the listed options.

With rocks

If we are talking about a small or medium-sized product, and also silver, then you can safely wear it to work or on a date. Well, save the real gold, skillfully inlaid with natural gems, for a truly special occasion. If we are talking about fake stones and jewelry, then use the item in everyday life.

Who should not wear hoop earrings?

First, it’s worth considering the riskiest option for such earrings: massive gold hoops. In the minds of many people, they correlate with 2 cultures: Gypsy and African. In order not to suddenly and by chance enter into an ethnic group that you do not belong to in the past, buy not ordinary yellow gold, but pink, red, white or green.

Important! The color of gold is an indicator of a certain additive. Black indicates the presence of chromium or nickel, pink indicates copper, green indicates potassium.

Other bad combinations:

• small face and massive thick earrings;
• very wide earrings and a round oval face;
• swelling of the cheekbones and neck with flashy, eye-catching accessories in the ears.

If your health condition or ordinary fatigue affects your face, you should not focus on the upper body. It is better to select another zone. For example, legs. It is also worth paying attention to the material of the rings. Cheap metal or plastic is unlikely to complement the fashionable look of an adult woman. There are 2 exceptions to this rule:

• contemporary or complex designer costume jewelry;
• earrings stylized in the 70s–80s (disco style).

At that time, moon-shaped plastic earrings in rich colors dangled in the ears of domestic and foreign fashionistas: sky blue, yellow, red.This trend survived the turn of the 90s, but gradually died along with the love for “goggle-eyed” leggings. If you decide to go out in an outfit stylized for that era, then plastic earrings will come in handy.
