Hoops are hot!

Agonizing over what to get the hard-to-shop-for women on your list? As a jewelry buyer, I'm often asked what's hot. The easy answer this year: hoops.


Hoop earrings are everywhere, and they're extremely popular for holiday 2007, according to Modern Jeweler. For the conservative career gal, small, diamond or pearl-studded hoops are the way to go. For the glamour gal--think J.Lo--big, dramatic hoops are in style. Two I like:
