Traditional silver hoop earrings are one of the most enduring pieces of silver jewellry. Large hoops are fun, eye-catching accessories that show a woman isn’t afraid to be noticed. The bigger the hoops, the bolder the statement. Typically worn with the hair up, large hoop earrings can show a woman’s artistic side or if the hoops are accented with crystals or diamonds, her elegant, posh side.
Men who want to wear silver jewellry often choose tiny silver hoops. They catch the eye but are still masculine. The same just can’t be said for gold hoop earrings, they tend to make a man look like a pirate. Actually many men wouldn’t consider wearing gold jewellry but they will wear silver. Gold tends to remind people of the sleazy male characters in movies who always sported a gold chain under an unbuttoned shirt. Silver is just classier when it comes to jewellry for men.
Why do women choose silver jewellry over gold jewellry? Silver is less expensive than gold, allowing a woman to buy small, medium, and large hoop earrings in silver rather than just one pair in gold for the same money. Silver, when .925 sterling silver, is durable and beautiful. Should silver cost the same as gold, many women would still choose to wear silver simply for its beauty and luster.
