Some people are picky eaters. Some are particular about their laundry detergent. I am highly selective about my earrings. When it comes to hoops, I know exactly what I’m looking for and I won’t wear something that doesn’t fit the bill.
Year after year, I watched friends find the right earrings for them, sometimes asking where they got them and considering a pair for myself. But in my heart of hearts, I knew they weren’t really the earrings I was looking for. Whether they were too cutesy, too heavy, too skinny or came with that annoying, tiny earring backing I would lose within a week, I never found the earrings for me. Until now.
After years of looking for my perfect chunky hoops, I’m overjoyed to report that I’ve found them ― for $13 on Amazon, no less. Consider this my engagement announcement and hang it on your fridge next to your old college roommate’s actual save-the-date. They’re stylish, metallic everyday earrings that go with literally every outfit you own. Throw them on for a going-out look. Instantly elevate your cozy sweats. Add a little metallic flair to a basic T-shirt and jeans or power clash ensemble. The options are endless, especially because they come in gold, silver and rose gold in four different sizes (25, 30, 40 and 50 millimeters.)
They’re eye-catching, but not overwhelming. Thick, but light. And perhaps most importantly, they have an attached back, so I never need to fumble around the old cigar box in which I keep all my precious gems, looking for a singular earring back.
