Gold Hoop Earrings: Pros and Cons

We recently held a few polls on social media about gold jewellery and gold hoop earrings and we were really interested to find some very insightful information. We feel that during the lockdown and with so many social aspects of people’s lives being closed people are still passionate about dressing up, adorning themselves and buying jewellery. Here at DEMI+CO we even spoke to each other about their reasons for buying jewellery and accessories and we all had remarkably similar standpoints which stemmed from the feel-good factor and the ‘buying high’.

The insights from our social media research were interesting so much so that we wanted to delve a little deeper into the world of psychology of buying and the psychology particularly in to buying jewellery. We won’t go too deep into our findings as this probably is a task for another blog post in the future! What we have found from our social media findings was that many of you consider buying jewellery for yourselves as a top priority, especially earrings and gold hoops, buying jewellery for relatives was a second and buying jewellery for friends as a third. It is so good to see that we are putting the needs of ourselves first and foremost especially in turbulent times like these, it makes sense that little treats are seen as a necessity to help us feel better.

 “Great earrings. Look even better than the photos! Quick delivery and nicely wrapped.”

 

The information on the psychology of jewellery and buying jewellery was also incredibly fascinating and pretty much backed up our stats from our social media research. We’ve put together a blog post all about the pros and cons of wearing gold hoop earrings and we want to share some of the psychology behind buying jewellery that we’ve learnt. After all, every day is a school day! Read through our incredibly honest post all about gold hoop earrings, to learn more about why we love jewellery so much. We hope you find this post informative and helpful when making you decision on what jewellery to choose this Christmas.

The Psychology of Buying Jewellery

We found it very interesting when looking into the psychology of buying jewellery, that often we choose our purchases as a gift for someone special. In romantic relationships, jewellery is a gesture of unconditional love and affection. Jewellery can create a inner feeling of deep connection with another person, it can also be a show of commitment through engagement rings, wedding rings or promise rings. Jewellery is often linked to romance, but it can also be linked to forgiveness. It is said that jewellery can show how sorry a person is, as it has a lasting impact when someone has done something wrong. This is due to jewellery lasting forever, which is one of the reasons it’s used in many different situations.
 
Behind the psychology of giving jewellery as a gift is quite fascinating. It is said that people often give jewellery to show that they have good taste or that they put more thought and spend more money on gifts. Often, we buy jewellery for others to make a good impression and we want to show people how much we care by buying them jewellery rather than something cheap that they won’t use.

“My favourite pair of hoop earrings very happy with these”

 
Jewellery still reflects some people’s social status today, as it did in ancient times. Think of royalty, for example, with their crowns, tiaras and expensive gemstones. Jewellery is believed to reinforce self-esteem or the wearer’s ego.
 
Buying jewellery can also make us feel happy. By treating ourselves to gifts, we can get a rush of joy for buying ourselves something nice. We also feel happiness when we buy gifts for others and see the smile on their faces too! There’s lots of reasons we buy jewellery and these are just some of them. The psychology behind buying jewellery is quite complex but very interesting, we hope you enjoyed learning a little bit of what’s behind it.

If the lower half of your face is narrower, hoops with a wider bottom would compliment your face shape well. Look for styles that are “bottom-heavy”, or are shaped like a teardrop rather than a perfect hoop.

Long and Narrow Face

If you have a long, thin face then you should emphasize the width of your face with a gorgeous pair of medium to large gold hoop earrings. These will make your face appear fuller.

Square Face

If you have a square face shape, hoop earrings are perfect for you! The circular style softens your features and look beautiful.

 
Cons of Gold Hoop Earrings

A con of gold hoop earrings is that they can be very heavy on the ear, making them uncomfortable to wear. Luckily all of our gold plated hoop earrings are lightweight, regardless of their size, meaning they are lovely to wear and can be worn all day comfortably.
 
 
Some people also believe that hoop earrings appear unprofessional and this is a question we’re asked frequently. The truth is, this depends on your job. A small pair of gold huggies can be worn any time, are comfortable, classy and are indeed, professional looking, whereas a large, intricate and ornate pair may be best saved for your next night out. Always use you judgement as to whether you think the style you love is suitable for the workplace, or whether you should go for a more subtle, but still pretty style.
