Medium Gold Hoop Earrings

Karat, size, width and stones set the price. 14K gold costs more than 10K, and a thicker or larger hoop uses more metal. Hoops set with diamonds or lab-grown diamonds vary with total carat weight, and solid styles differ from lighter ones. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.

Twisted hoops lead the list, followed by grooved and bamboo styles. Lab-grown diamond hoops, tapered and oval shapes also appear near the top. Most of the leading styles are in 14K yellow gold, with some in white and tri-color gold.

Here, medium hoops run roughly 15mm to 30mm across. They sit around the earlobe without reaching the shoulder. For something closer to the ear, try huggie hoops, or choose large hoops for a bolder look.

Yes, smooth and grooved hoops suit daily wear well. Their simple shapes are easy to pair with most outfits. Twisted, bamboo and diamond styles draw more attention, so many people save them for dinners or special occasions.

10K is harder and usually costs less; 14K has more gold content. 10K is 41.7% pure gold and 14K is 58.3%, so 14K shows a richer color. Most hoops on this page are 14K, with some in 10K.

Wipe them with a soft cloth and store them separately. Keep them away from harsh chemicals and remove them before swimming or cleaning. Diamond-set hoops can be cleaned gently with mild soap and water. See our jewelry care page for more.
