Jewelry Trend Alert – Hoop Earrings Featuring Discs and Ball Designs. One jewelry trend on the rise is big hoop earrings that feature either balls, discs, or balls and spike designs. We can all thank the ladies from Basketball Wives for this growing trend, since they were first spotted on the show and have now risen in popularity. Many of the hoop designs that feature the ball or the discs can be simple ranging from gold and silver, or they can be very bold featuring vibrant colors that are sure to grab attention. Many of the earrings feature unique designs such as animal prints or fun and exotic coloring. Which means everyone can find something that fits their own personal style. I love this trend since I use to adore hoop earrings, and I’m so glad they’re making a come back. Just be sure your hoop earrings aren’t too heavy, otherwise your earlobes will suffer the consequences. Look below for a few designs featuring this hot new trend.
