The crossover hoop creates an X-shaped silhouette by having the band pass over itself at the front - a design move that gives the hoop a more complex profile than a plain ring. Rachel Zoe adds a twist element to the crossover design in 14K gold over sterling silver, with CZ along the band enhancing the sparkle at the intersection point where the two ends meet. The crossing point becomes the visual center of the earring - a natural focal point that plain hoops lack. A hoop earring with structural interest for the wearer who has moved past the standard form.
