Gold hoop earrings are the ultimate jewelry MVP. Season-less, versatile, and always pulling their weight, they work just as well with jeans as they do with wedding guest dresses. Whether you’re into dainty huggies or chunky tubes and other statement styles, there’s a gold hoop for every mood.
Some outfits call for the barely-there charm of petite hoops that hug the lobe, while others practically demand extra-large, look-at-me designs. Of course, nothing beats the classics: 14-karat yellow gold and white gold hoops — especially when they’re tarnish-free — are as reliable as your favorite white T-shirt.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best gold hoops in every trending category. Maybe you’re hunting for a pair to wear 24/7 or chasing a luxe gift for yourself or a loved one this holiday season. Either way, these picks are guaranteed to add a finishing touch to both your jewelry box and outfits.
14K Gold Hoop Earrings
The perfect blend of luxury and wearability, true 14k gold hoops are an investment that deliver timeless sophistication. Whether you choose Mejuri’s sleek pair, Kinn’s lightweight everyday option, or Angara’s square hoop shape, these are your forever earrings — versatile for coffee runs and soirées alike.
Huggies & Small Gold Hoop Earrings
Small gold hoops may be subtle, but these pint-sized pieces bring just the right touch of shine to any look. Huggies also, well, hug your lobes just right, offering maximum comfort while still offering a polished touch to your outfit. Given their petite size, you can easily stack them to climb your ear or wear them solo. From twisted tubes to diamond accents, there’s a huggie for every sartorial vibe.
White Gold Hoop Earrings
If all the viral color analysis videos have convinced you that you’re more of a silver gal (but you still want the luxe durability that gold provides), white gold is the cool-toned twist you need to own. Best of all, brands have designed just as many options in white gold as they have in the metal’s yellow-gold counterpart, including classic small and large hoops, as well as textured and bubbled designs.
Chunky Gold Hoop Earrings
Thick gold hoops balance boldness with timeless appeal. Some retain a sleek and sculptural feel, while others lean into a chunky and puffy silhouette. Either way, they effortlessly elevate everything from minimalist outfits to cozy cardigans. And sure, bigger can certainly be better, but that doesn’t always mean more expensive — these styles all come in under $150.
Large Gold Hoop Earrings
Make a statement with a pair of go-to large gold hoops. How big you go in circumference is up to you, of course. An oversized pair made from a single thin wire is a classic, while others feature sculptural details begging for a double-take. Continuous circles and open-ended backs both bring just the right amount of drama to everything from a black turtleneck to a tailored blazer — and require little other jewelry.
