With respect to earrings, what complements one persons face and skin tone can appear appalling on another. There are different types of earrings suitable for work, the opera, parties or daily wear. With the right earrings even a casually dressed woman may appear chic and stylish.

Experts recommend appropriate earrings based on the persons age, shape of the face and type of the skin of the consumer. Diamond hoop earrings are generally advised for women with an oval face. This tends to impart a slightly wider look that is highly appealing. They are generally avoided for large, fleshier faces.

There are two main types of diamond hoop earrings. In the hinged-hoop diamond earring, a gentle curve hugs the earlobe and the hoop is secured over the ear in the absence of clips or posts. This is designed for comfort and is ideal for different profiles. In the puffed hoop variety, a curved wire or band extends to form a hoop below the earlobe. The metal is beveled to give it a puffy appearance. Though they are hollow and light, they appear attractively bigger and heavier. These types of earrings are highly fashionable and can be procured at reasonable prices. However, depending on the number of diamonds, setting material and workmanship, the price may range from $300 containing a total of 1/8C diamond to $4,000 or more, depending on the color and clarity.

Today, diamond hoop earrings are definitely considered more glamorous. Narrow gold wires dotted with diamonds, white gold with diamond heart-shaped flat hoops that contour the ear, or the new reversible hug-style design that change from yellow to white gold to platinum seldom go unnoticed. Sometimes worn with other jewels, diamond hoop earrings unquestionably serve to accentuate ones looks.
