Hoop earrings, a.k.a. hoops, are a popular style of earrings for both women and men. Just like the name, these earrings are made of tubes that form circular, hoop-like shapes that fasten from one end of the tube to the other. They are made from different types of materials. Silver and gold hoops are the most popular types.

Hoops have various fastening types. Here is a list of some of the most popular styles:

Hinge - Hinged hoops have visible fastenings where a thin wire attached to a hinge passes through the ear lobe and fastens on the other end by pressing it down into the closure. This fastening is easy to take on and off.

Endless - Endless hoops also have a thin wire attached to one end of the hoop that passes through the ear lobes and closes by fitting the wire inside the other end of the hoops. Remember these earrings are made from tubes, so you fit the wire inside the tube. Unlike hinged hoops, this fastening is not visible. This style make these hoops look like an endless circle.

Post - Post hoops form a semi-circular shape since the fastening doesn't complete this type of shape. One end of the earrings has a stud that passes through the ear and is secured by a removable screw or friction back while the end of the hoop is formed close to the other end.

Besides different fastenings, hoop earrings come in a variety of other designs and shapes. Traditionally, hoop earrings come in a circular shape. However, they can also come in different shapes, such as rectangles, hearts, and ovals. They can have different polish finishes, carvings, gemstones, and more.
