Finally, press both ends of the ear ring together until it is secured. You'll know this is the case when you gently pull on the ear ring without it coming off your ear. Make sure you don't pull the ends together too tightly or it may be uncomfortable.

Size Matters
Size will also play a role in how you wear your hoop earrings. It's more about personal style than anything else. Sometimes, more is more, which is why you may want to opt for a larger earring, but, for an everyday look or something more casual, a smaller earring may be more comfortable. If you're wearing more than one earring, you can also use a smaller and a larger one to keep the look interesting.
Stack your ear rings
For a truly unique style, play with more than one ear cuff or combine it with other piercings. As we said above, you may want to combine ear rings of different sizes or place them in different locations on your ear. Why not try one near the top of your ear and another placed lower down?
Combining ear cuffs with other ear piercings is also very popular. They look great with studs, hoops and earrings.
