The style  of silver hoop earrings is governed by what is called the three C’s of jewlery, comfortable or casual, classic, and contemporary.  Which particular C  leaned toward is based on the preference of the individual.

Some women may feel comfortable accessorizing the large silver hoops while a woman of more modest tastes my feel more at ease with a pair of small silver hoop earrings.

Also, the hoop size and style may depend on the shape of the woman’s face as well as the cut or length of her hair.  Women with long hair can usually wear the big hoops, but there are some women with very short hair that look great and feel comfortable wearing the larger hoops.  Generally speaking, any woman can wear the smaller hoops, using them for everyday wear.
