Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:
Please don’t talk to me about hoops. I tried them, but they are too much trouble! Half the time you can’t get them to close. The little wire can get bent and stop working. One time it actually snapped off in my hand—of course it was on a day when I had no time to spare. After that I said, “Forget it.”
No Hoops for Me
Dear NHM:
How frustrating! The good news is there are lots of other fish in the sea, when it comes to earrings. You certainly don’t have to wear hoops.
But say you still like the look of hoops. Then what?
First, look a little closer at the construction before buying them. Does the wire (or the whole hoop) seem flimsy? Move on.
Next, take a look at different kinds of fastenings. The ones with latches are much easier to close, and stay closed. (You may need to have the latches tightened every so often.)
You might also like “huggie hoops” (also known as hinged earrings).
Last, but not least, consider post hoops—no, that is not the time after the existence of hoops :>. The back of the hoop is actually a post earring. https://www.stuller.com/search/results/?query=hoop+earrings+with+posts
Whatever you do, enjoy your earrings!
