Hoop earrings are a jewelry staple, a basic design that's as old as the art of jewelry making itself. I recently got curious about variations on the basic hoop and went in search of hoop earrings with a different point of view. This collection is the result. Besides the traditional round hoops, you'll also find square and triangular hoops. I've included silver and gold and beaded hoops, and hoops that are wrapped, studded, and otherwise embellished and adorned.

They're all beautiful, and they're all handmade. Prices range from $15 - $300, with most under $100. And you'll usually find more jewelry of similar quality by clicking the artist name link.
