Diamond Hoop Earrings

Nope – diamond hoop earrings have been a desirable accessory for centuries and were exceptionally popular with the nobility. The kings and queens of Europe wore diamond hoop earrings as the precious stones represented power, authority, and high social status. Hoop earrings also represent unity and strength in many cultures. This simple design is dripping not just with precious gems but with significance too. Today, diamond hoop earrings may not carry the same political or social prestige, but they certainly have plenty of impact when paired with a fantastic outfit and diamond bracelet.

Very few people are genuinely allergic to gold. However, because gold is such a soft metal, it's mixed with various alloy metals to give it strength and make it resistant to scratching. In white gold, the alloys used include palladium, which is also hypoallergenic. However, you may also find traces of silver in the mix, which some people might react to. White gold has a coating of rhodium which will not trigger a reaction. But once that coating wears off, you may be exposed directly to the metal surface, which may cause an allergic reaction.

Because diamonds and gold are so resilient, it's easy to keep them looking their best. Our advice is if you're going to use hair products such as mousse, gel, or hairspray, style your hair first before putting your earrings in to avoid getting product on the gems' surface. If they do gather any dirt or sticky product, wash them gently in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry naturally. Wipe them with a soft cloth, and they're ready to wear.
