Hoops

You’ve arrived at hoop earrings headquarters. Find your new favorite pair of sterling silver or 14k gold hoops in styles galore—from dainty huggies to dramatic pairs.

If there’s one thing you’ll never regret adding to your jewelry lineup, it’s a great pair of hoop earrings. They’re timeless, effortless, and a little bit powerful—like that friend who always shows up late but somehow still looks amazing. Hoops just have it. And at GLDN, we like to think we’ve given them the glow-up they deserve.

Whether you’re into barely-there everyday gold hoops or bold shapes that turn heads, we’ve got a loop for every lobe. This guide walks you through our favorites, what they’re made of, how to wear them, and the ones you’ll want to collect in every size.

The gold hoop: never not iconic

Let’s start with the classic: gold hoops. Minimal. Chic. Endlessly wearable. We craft ours in 14k Gold Fill and solid 14k Gold, so they don’t flake, fade, or fuss, and yes, you can shower in them. You’re welcome. 

Our hoops are lightweight, secure, and made to live in. Wear them solo or try our endless hoops as the perfect base for our 3D charms (trust us, once you pop a little flower or hand-stamped tag on there, you’re hooked). They go with jeans and a tee, silk dresses, messy buns, power suits, red lips, no makeup, airport outfits, date nights, you get the vibe.

They’re also the MVP of low-maintenance elegance. You don’t have to think too hard. Just pop them in, and suddenly you look like you meant to be that put-together. They're the kind of piece that makes people think you're always on top of it, even if you're currently Googling how to fold a fitted sheet.

If you're looking for a first hoop or a forever pair, start here. There's a reason they're iconic.

The essentials: endless hoops to live in

These are the hoops you reach for every day, the ones that somehow work with every outfit, vibe, and version of you. They’re delicate but strong, polished but not precious, and they’ll take whatever your day throws at them, sweat, naps, Zoom calls, date nights, messy hair days, and yes, even toddler grabs. They’re the kind of hoops you forget you’re wearing…until someone stops you to ask where you got them.

Our go-to endless styles include:

Pair any of these with 3D charms or keep them bare. Either way, your ear game just leveled up.

Want a little shape with that shine?

If you’ve already mastered your everyday hoop rotation, let’s play a little. Enter: the interesting hoop. These styles take everything you love about gold hoops and give them a twist—literally.

Meet your new favorites:

  • Flow Hoops: Wavy, fluid, and surprisingly versatile.

  • Geo Hoops: A geometric take that still plays nice with your stacks.

  • Cosmic Light Hoops: Celestial and sculptural, for nights out or deep thoughts.

  • Eileen Hoops: Bold without being bulky. They make any outfit feel more done.

  • Ada Hoops: Modern but soft, like the jewelry version of a structured blazer.

  • Cecelia Hoops: The perfect “I wanted something different, but still timeless” pair.

Pro tip: If your jewelry drawer needs a refresh, add one of these to break up the matchy-matchy vibe without ditching the gold energy you love.

Styling hoop earrings (aka how to wear them with everything)

We love a layered look, and hoops are the base. Stack them with studs, cuffs, or even a second pair of smaller hoops if you have multiple piercings. Want to shake up your usual rotation? Try mixing metals (yes, it’s allowed), playing with scale, or stacking mismatched hoops for an offbeat, editorial vibe.

Not sure where to start?

  • For minimalists: one pair of Ona or Aura Hoops + a single dainty stud = chef’s kiss. The look is clean, polished, and goes with everything.

  • For stackers: mix textures, like a Deco hoop with a Flow hoop on the other side. Unexpected? Totally chic.

  • For statement lovers: start with Cosmic Light or Eileen and keep the rest simple. Let the hoops be the outfit.

  • For everyday glow-ups: throw a Poet’s Garden charm on your 24/7 hoops and pretend you didn’t just roll out of bed.

  • For the asymmetry fan: wear a large Olivia hoop on one side and a Cece on the other. Add a charm to one ear only. Yes, it’s on purpose.

And yes, hoops work for every face shape, hair type, and outfit. Updo or down, beach day or blazer, they’re a forever yes. There’s no wrong way to wear them, just ways to wear them more often.

One last thing on your hoops…

You deserve jewelry that makes you feel put together, even when you’re not.  And sometimes, a hoop is all you need to be put together. That’s the magic of a good hoop: it adds polish without trying too hard. It says I’ve got this, even when your to-do list says otherwise.

Whether you’re just getting started or curating your next ear party, these hoop earrings were made to go with your glow. No outfit change required.
