Tiny studs that adorn every ear piercing you have might make for a cute constellation, but if 2017 has taught us anything about earring trends, it's that hoops are a jewelry collection mainstay. In fact, chances are you already own a pair (or five) of classic hoops that you wear most days of the week—but we're here to challenge you to take it a step further.
We've rounded up some of the coolest hoop earring worth trying next. They're not just symmetric circles—they're oblong and open-ended. They feature sparkles, bright colors, and unexpected uses of pearls. Some just sit on one ear, instead of both. Ahead, the range of styles is so varied that there's a unique pair to delight every hoop fan.
