More about shimmer hoop earrings
Shape changes how a hoop wears
A round hoop swings freely and reads as the most classic. A squared or angular hoop holds its position against the jaw and looks more deliberate. A twisted hoop catches light along its length rather than across its face. The shape matters more to how an earring looks than its size does.
Stones around an unusual shape
A squared or twisted hoop has corners and turns where a round one has none, and a continuous stone setting has to follow them without a visible break. Cubic zirconia makes that practical: lab-created and cut like a diamond, it comes in the matched small sizes a run of stones needs. Rhodium over the silver holds the white of the metal to the white of the stones.
Common questions
What is cubic zirconia?
Cubic zirconia is a lab-created stone cut the way a diamond is cut. At normal viewing distance it reads almost identically at a fraction of the cost, and that is what lets a range like this use larger stones and cover more of the surface.
What does assorted mean on this page?
These are the Shimmer hoops that sit outside the standard round and oval groups â squared, twisted and textured shapes. They share the same silver, stones and finish as the rest of the range.
How do I choose a hoop size?
Diameter is given in millimeters on every product page. Small hoops sit close to the lobe for daily wear, mid-size clear the jaw, and large hoops are a deliberate statement.
Are these secure enough for daily wear?
Most use a hinged post with a snap closure, which is secure. Have the hinge checked once a year on any hoop worn every day, as that is where wear shows first.
How do I clean them?
Warm soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry. Avoid silver dips, which strip the rhodium finish and can loosen stones.
