White gold hoop earrings

White gold is a timeless precious metal, and always a great idea if you’re in the market of purchasing a jewel. For you, or for someone you love. This classy metal adds a sense of style to any attire and can easily be paired with other jewelry. A pair of white gold hoop earrings therefor is a timeless classic, and suitable for any woman’s jewelry collection.

Hoop Earrings in history

Hoop earrings have been worn by men and women for centuries. The hoop earring first popped up at around 2500 BC, back when it was worn by Sumerian women.
The hoop earring since then has been found in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, and later found its way to South and then to North America. Not only is it a traditional piece of jewelry commonly worn by women of color, the hoop earring also was a functional piece of jewelry for sailors. If ever a sailor was shipwrecked and found deceased, the hoop earring was used as payment for his funeral.

White Gold Hoop Earrings: classy and timeless

Although the hoop earring has a long history full of tradition, nowadays to most it is a fashionable and indispensable item to any woman’s jewelry box.
Traditionally made of yellow gold, now there is an enormous variety of hoop earrings available. Not only have designers felt free to play with the shape of the earring, resulting in highly modern designs. The hoop earring is also available in several colors and precious metals.
At DiamondsByMe we offer you a choice of three precious metals: silver, gold and platinum.
Within that range we offer three gold colors: the traditional yellow gold, classy white gold and trendy rose gold:

• Yellow gold hoop earrings: full of tradition and history. Ranging from the simple hoop we all know, to ornate pieces set with precious stones.
• White gold hoop earrings: always a classy and stylish adornment. Especially when set with rows of diamonds or other precious gemstones. We at DiamondsByMe particularly love white gold when combined with sapphire.
• Rose gold hoop earrings: the traditional earring with a very modern twist. Rose gold is a genuine eyecatcher. Of course, the combo of rose gold and diamond is stunning. But have you ever considered a pair of rose gold hoops set with brown diamonds?

White gold is the chameleon among these three-color tones. It can easily be paired with other jewelry. Think of a two-tone set of earrings, matching white gold with yellow, or white gold with rose gold.
But not only that; a pair of white gold hoop earrings complements any outfit. If you’re attending a lavish Great Gatsby style party, the white gold hoop will easily match your evening attire. If you have an important business meeting, the white gold hoop will add to a classy and matter-of-fact appearance. And to the casual outfit, the basic white gold hoop will add a subtle touch of style.

Step it up with platinum

To the eye, there may be little difference between white gold and platinum. Both have a silvery shine to them. However, there are some considerable differences between these two precious metals. White gold originally has a yellowish undertone, being a yellow gold alloy. The white color is created by adding a layer of rhodium. In time this layer will wear off, revealing the original color. Platinum in comparison is a pure precious metal with no additives. The color of platinum therefor is completely its own.
Furthermore, platinum has a hypoallergenic quality, meaning if you suffer from a metal allergy, you will not be experiencing any trouble wearing platinum hoop earrings.
Platinum of course is more expensive than white gold. However, if you seek a pair of earrings that needs very little maintenance, and which has very little chance of damaging easily, then choosing platinum is something to consider.
