How to choose the size of your hoops?

Sleeper hoops or mini earrings are perfect for shorter women, while a large pair of hoops will add elegance to taller women and those with prominent cheekbones. Finally, irregularly shaped or rectangular hoops will suit women with shorter haircuts. At Les Georgettes, there are so many pieces to discover… and to adopt! A wide selection of earrings is available on our online boutique. Made in France, all our jewelry can be personalized however you like. All that’s left is to choose the pair of hoops you can reinterpret in your own image using our reversible and interchangeable leathers.
What are the different types of earrings?
For a woman, the type of earrings can change from one day to the next, as there are so many different styles! Among the most worn, you often find dangling earrings, thin hoops, sleeper hoops, or round ones. Able to make an outfit or a face shine, earrings are beautifully worn as a set, for example with one or more necklaces, rings, and pretty bracelets. At Les Georgettes, we invite you to mix and match your jewelry! Come see our selection of earrings and hoops on our online jewelry store. For most of our models, you can adapt your jewelry (bracelets, rings, watches, earrings, necklaces) to your style by adding a reversible colored leather. For men, the small single hoop earring, as well as hoops that can be stacked, is a style still found in men’s trends, along with stud earrings. Often made of gold, white gold, or silver, many models exist. And for good reason! Earrings, and especially hoops, certainly aren’t a new invention…
What are the origins of hoops?
Timeless jewelry par excellence, hoop earrings have crossed eras and civilizations, acquiring many meanings. Their origin is believed to date back to 2500 BC within the African Nubian civilization, a region in Sudan along the Nile. They then represented wealth and beauty and were also believed to protect their owners. Precious for both women and men, they symbolized power. Julius Caesar is said to have worn them to assert his authority. Their identity symbolism seems to have been reinforced during 18th-century slavery when earrings were the only jewelry allowed to slaves. It is from this period that the name "creole" is thought to have emerged. The 20th century marks the golden age of hoop earrings. During the Roaring Twenties, golden hoops were essential fashion accessories paired with the outfits of all female artists. They became the emblem of the feminist movement in the 1960s, proudly worn by African-American women. The 1980s saw increasingly large hoops, costume earrings supporting a movement of rebellion synonymous with freedom and emancipation. The 21st century certainly does not disappoint! Today, hoop earrings are timeless. Whether in gold, silver, gold-plated, metal, or steel, hoops remain iconic jewelry to wear daily and to offer on any occasion, whether to celebrate a birthday or birth, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc. What better than personalized jewelry to give original gifts? It’s up to you to choose, among our selection of earrings and hoops, your favorite pairs to treat yourself or offer beautiful gifts.
