By: Jeffrey M. Bertman Graduate GemologistWho said that the design of hoop earrings must be restricted to minimalist bands of thin gold, silver, or platinum wire? The most popular of current styles feature big hoops punctuated with precious gemstones that literally “rock” your world! While no one will ever question the tastefulness of a pair of simple gold hoop earrings, hoops embellished with front-facing sapphires, topaz, or diamonds are sure to raise the ante. Gemstones can be encapsulated singularly in bezel settings or in a series along the front of each hoop just below the earlobe. Because they are worn so close to the eyes, earrings have always been the jewelry pieces that garner the most attention. Gemstone hoop earrings are dazzlers! Earrings put the excitement in jewelry. An inexpensive gift for yourself or a delightful gift for someone else, a beautiful earring is always an enjoyment. Ask one of our jewelry experts to show you our dazzling hoop earrings.
