There is nothing more classic than a pair of gold hoops. However, while the look endures, the new shapes are anything but traditional. With a (quite literal) twist on the classic round loop, I’m suddenly reminded how much I love them, especially for summer months. The gold hoop just might be the easiest jewel to travel with – throw a pair on and go, with anything from a white tee to a fancy cocktail dress.
