A bracelet should slide a little but not flip around. You should be able to slip one finger between the bracelet and your wrist. Tennis bracelets fit snug. Bangles should move but not slide off your hand.

    I disagree because I had the opposite experience.

Absolutely. Hoop earrings are timeless and the size ranges from tiny everyday huggies to 3in statement hoops. Huggies and small gold hoops are basically a staple. Buy a pair in gold fill or solid gold and they will last decades.
