Jennifer Meyer Earrings: Ellen Hoops, Huggies, Studs and Ear Cuffs

Jennifer Meyer earrings are fine gold hoops, huggies, studs and drops made by hand in Los Angeles, and Coveti stocks 491 of them from the Jennifer Meyer brand hub. Shop the full edit of fine earrings, and start with the line’s signature, the Mini Ellen Hoops, which is around $3,480 at Coveti.

Which Jennifer Meyer earrings are best? The Ellen hoops are the best-selling style: flat, polished gold hoops in four sizes, from 12mm to 55mm across. Most people buy the mini size first, then add a stud, a huggie, a cartilage hoop. Earrings at Coveti range from $400 to $40,530, with a median of $3,850.

What are Ellen hoops?

Ellen is the best-selling Jennifer Meyer line, named for Jennifer’s mother. Its hoops are flat and polished, with a post backing, and they come in mini, small, medium and large. The same shape also appears in a hammered finish and with diamonds set along the front. Coveti stocks 22 pieces from the Ellen family across earrings, bands, cuffs and necklaces.

The simplest way to choose is by diameter. The measurements below come straight from each listing.

Mini Ellen hoops, 12mm

The Mini Ellen Hoops sit close to the lobe, a size that reads as a polished ring of gold rather than a statement. The Mini Hammered Ellen Hoops add a soft, beaten texture at around $3,920, and the Mini Diamond Ellen Hoops carry 0.32 carats of diamonds at around $7,150. This is the size to buy if you wear earrings every day and rarely take them out.

Small Ellen hoops, 20mm

At about 20mm the hoop clears the lobe and frames the jaw. The Small Ellen Hoops are around $5,390, the Small Hammered Ellen Hoops are around $5,830, and the Small Diamond Ellen Hoops hold 0.53 carats of diamonds at around $12,450.

Medium and large Ellen hoops, 45mm and 55mm

Past 40mm the hoop becomes a statement. The Medium Ellen Hoops are 45mm across and around $11,560, and the Large Ellen Hoops are 55mm across and around $14,800. The Large Hammered Ellen Hoops, also 55mm, are around $16,050. Although the gold is solid and polished, the hoops stay light enough for the lobe, because the profile is flat rather than tubular.

Do Jennifer Meyer make huggie earrings?

Yes, and the range is large: 74 huggies at Coveti, from around $840 to $40,530. A huggie is a small hoop that hugs the lobe and closes with a hinge rather than a post. It sits snugly and does not swing. Sizes start at 7mm.

• 7mm. The smallest. The Single Cartilage Hoop is a single cartilage hoop at around $840. The Huggies with Mini Diamond Bezel Drop hang a small diamond bezel at around $2,010.
• 8.2mm to 9mm. The 1 illusion Set Diamond Huggies are 8.2mm at around $2,240, and the Huggies with Diamond Accent are 9mm at around $2,680.
• Coloured drops. Mini bezel drops come in blue sapphire, emerald, pink sapphire and ruby. The Huggies with Mini Pink Sapphire Bezel Drop are around $2,010.

Our huggie earrings guide explains the difference between huggies and small hoops, and the huggie earrings page lists them all.

What are the best Jennifer Meyer diamond studs?

Coveti has 76 diamond stud earrings by Jennifer Meyer, and the best ones are not round brilliants. They are small shapes: bars, hearts, stars, moons, a trillion, a marquise. Several are listed as a single earring, shown by the word Single in the name, so you can wear one stud on its own and collect a mix for an uneven ear.

The Single Princess Cut Diamond Stud and the Single Trillion Cut Diamond Stud are around $910 each. The Single Marquise Cut Diamond Stud and the Single Oval Cut Diamond Stud are around $990. For a bar, the Single Diamond Bar Stud is around $690.

Pairs include the Diamond Bezel Studs at around $1,060 and the Mini Carson Moon Studs at around $1,500. For more weight, the Small Illusion Set Diamond Studs hold 0.43 carats of illusion set diamonds at around $4,370. Our diamond stud earrings guide compares stud sizes, and the diamond stud earrings page lists the range.

What are Jennifer Meyer drop earrings like?

Drops are the largest earring category: 98 pieces, from around $1,240 to $40,530. At the small end are mini charms, such as the Mini Leaf Drop Earrings and the Mini Wishbone Drop Earrings, both around $1,240. In the middle sit the Hammered and Carson pieces: the Mini Carson Moon Drop Earrings at around $1,800, and the Hammered 1 Marquise Drop Earrings at around $1,570.

The bar styles are long and linear. The Bar By The Inch Earrings measures 2.25 inches in length and is around $1,940. The Illusion Set Turquoise Drop Earrings is an illusion set turquoise drop, 18mm long, at around $2,530.

At the top are statement gemstone drops: aquamarine and morganite flowers, turquoise cabochons with diamonds, and a pink tourmaline and rubellite mosaic. These are priced from the high teens to $40,530, and several are one of a kind. See all drop earrings at Coveti.

What is a Jennifer Meyer ear cuff?

An ear cuff wraps the upper ear without a piercing, and Jennifer Meyer’s are tubular: a smooth gold tube bent into a loop. Coveti has seven. The Tubular Ear Cuff measures 13.25mm in diameter and is around $1,800. Add a single diamond and the Tubular Ear Cuff with Diamond Accent is around $1,940.

The cuffs come in white gold as well as yellow. The Diamond Tubular Ear Cuff is around $3,710, the Wide Tubular Ear Cuff is wider at 15.8mm and around $2,600, and the Wide Diamond Tubular Ear Cuff is 16.2mm with 0.83 carats of diamonds at around $7,090. Browse them on the ear cuffs page.

How do you build an ear stack with Jennifer Meyer?

Build outward from the lobe, and vary both the size and the shape. A balanced stack has one anchor, one repeat and one surprise. The anchor is a hoop. The repeat is a stud, and a huggie works too, in the same gold. The surprise is a stone: turquoise, a bezel drop, a small star.

1. Lobe, first piercing. Mini Ellen hoops at 12mm. They are the base of the stack.
2. Lobe, second piercing. A diamond huggie, 8.2mm to 9mm, close enough to sit beside the hoop without touching.
3. Cartilage. A 7mm cartilage hoop such as the Cartilage Hoop With Brilliant Cut Diamond Accent, around $1,690.
4. Upper ear. A tubular ear cuff, 13.25mm, to finish the line.

Because the gold is the same throughout, the stack looks planned even if you collect it slowly. If you like an uneven ear, wear a single stud on one side and the full stack on the other.

How do you choose a hoop size?

Match the hoop to how you live. At 12mm the mini Ellen hoops sit entirely on the lobe, so they work with long hair, a scarf, a high collar and a telephone held to the ear. At 20mm the small hoops start to show beneath short hair and make a visible circle against the jaw. At 45mm and 55mm the hoop is the whole outfit: keep the neckline simple and the necklace delicate.

Think about weight, too. A larger hoop in solid gold has a real presence on the lobe, which is why the 45mm and 55mm sizes use a flat profile. If you have not worn a hoop that size before, try the small size first and move up once you know you like the line it draws.

Diamond hoops follow the same size ladder. The mini and small Ellen hoops are the only sizes stocked with diamonds, and they carry 0.32 and 0.53 carats respectively. That makes them a natural anniversary purchase, because the plain version you already own will sit well beside them.

What are the signature motifs on Jennifer Meyer earrings?

Beyond hoops, the brand’s named motifs turn up on the ear. Leaf is a solid gold shape, often finished with pave diamonds, and the Large Leaf Earrings is a 2.24 inch drop at around $15,800. Carson, named for Jennifer’s sister, is a crescent moon: the Mini Carson Moon Studs are 0.33 inch long. The Hammered finish gives a beaten surface to discs and marquise shapes. Inlay sets a flat stone into the gold, as on the Lapis Inlay Heart Studs, at around $1,800.

These motifs are a good way to personalise an ear stack without changing the colour of the gold. A moon beside a diamond stud and a hoop looks deliberate, and it also gives you a gift idea for someone whose sister, mother and grandmother all matter to her. For more motifs across the whole range, read the Jennifer Meyer collections guide.

Which metal and stones should you choose?

Nearly everything at Coveti is 18K yellow gold, with a small group in white gold and a few in rose. The ear cuffs and a handful of onyx inlay studs are white gold. Stones range from natural diamonds to turquoise, lapis, onyx and mother of pearl inlay. For a comparison of the three golds, read our white gold, yellow gold and rose gold guide.

The evil eye also appears on the ear. The Diamond Mini Open Evil Eye Studs are around $2,820, with 0.16 carats of diamonds. And the Edith link, the open chain pattern named for Jennifer’s grandmother, returns as studs: the Diamond Edith Studs are around $2,130.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are Jennifer Meyer Ellen hoops?

Ellen hoops come in four sizes: mini at 12mm, small at 20mm, medium at 45mm and large at 55mm in diameter. All have post backings. At Coveti the mini starts at around $3,480, and the large starts at around $14,800. Hammered and diamond versions cost more at each size.

Are Jennifer Meyer earrings sold as pairs?

Mostly yes, but not always. Listings with Single in the name are one earring, so you can build an uneven ear. Check each listing before you buy so you know whether you are getting one earring and a pair. That matters most with studs, where a single costs from around $400.

What is the difference between a huggie and a hoop?

A huggie is a small hoop that sits snug against the lobe and closes with a hinge. Jennifer Meyer huggies start at 7mm in diameter, while Ellen hoops start at 12mm and use a post backing. Huggies stay close to the ear, and hoops swing. Both are made in solid 18 carat gold, so the choice is mostly about how much movement you like.

How much are Jennifer Meyer diamond studs?

Single diamond studs start at around $600 at Coveti, and pairs with small diamonds begin at around $1,060. Larger illusion set studs with 0.43 carats are around $4,370. The median across all 491 earrings is $3,850, so studs sit well below the middle of the range.

Does Jennifer Meyer make ear cuffs?

Yes. Coveti stocks seven tubular ear cuffs in white and yellow gold, from around $1,800 to $7,090. Diameters run from 13.25mm to 16.2mm, and options include plain gold, diamonds, sapphire and emerald. No piercing is needed to wear a cuff, which makes it an easy way to try the upper ear.

Are Jennifer Meyer earrings real gold?

Yes. Most are 18 carat gold, usually yellow, with natural diamonds in many styles. Every piece is designed by Jennifer Meyer and handcrafted by master artisans in Los Angeles. Coveti sells only 100% authentic pieces and ships worldwide from London.
