Diamond Hoop Earrings are a fantastic alternative to the traditional stud earrings

A diamond hoop earring or as they more commonly known diamond circle earrings, are an exquisite alternative to the traditional stud variety. They normally consist of 6-10 diamonds inserted into a channel in either platinum or white gold. The multiple diamonds provide fantastic brilliance and sparkle when the earrings catch the light. They come in price ranges of between $400 and $4000 with the higher priced ones generally having many more diamonds in each of the hoops.

Experts recommend a diamond hoop earring best suits an oval face, and has most recently been popularised by the diva of all diva's Jennifer Lopez. However this design of earring has been popular for a long time and another great fan of this design is Elizabeth Taylor. The youthful appeal of the hoop when combined with the distinguished status of diamonds makes for a great combination for this classic piece of jewelry.
