In the jewellery world, the pendulum swings every few seasons: gold, then silver, then back to gold. Some of us may stick staunchly to our preferred metal, while others flip-flop between finishers that make outfits feel fresh in the moment.
But whichever side of the fence you sit on, this season’s most in-demand earring is guaranteed to please. Missoma’s new Hera Dome Double Ridge Earrings come in a two-tone colourway: and as a result, they’re dominating the popularity contest.
These crowd-pleasing hoops are made from 18kt gold-plated and rhodium-plated brass, and sculpted to an angular hoop shape that feels perfectly on-point for now. You can wear them with either the rhodium or the yellow-gold side facing outwards, offering maximum versatility.

Of course, Missoma is no stranger to a seasonal ‘it’ piece, but the Hera Dome hoops have really raised the bar. First launched back in September, they sold out in record time, racking up a long waitlist of people hoping for a restock.
Today, the Hera hoops are back (and, in the Black Friday sale!) although likely not for long. And there are some people that already have theirs: Selena Gomez has been snapped in her pair, teamed with a slick black suit, while Iris Law styled them with pastel-pink Burberry check. Bel Powley used hers to elevate a cosy black coat, while influencer Tamara opted for the season’s rich burgundy hues.
The mixed-metal finish of the Heras strikes at the perfect time: after a season of silver stealing the spotlight, it seems we no longer want to have to choose one metal over the other. Missoma has recorded almost a 100% increase in mixed-metal jewellery sales this year, while a host of other mid-range brands, from Mejuri to Astrid & Miyu, have raced to launch two-tone collections. Finally, we no longer have to pick a side.
