The perfect hoop; classic, yet has personality.
The gold hoop earring has been a powerful symbol in numerous cultures throughout history. Both men and women have been adorning their bodies with jewellery since the earliest days of civilization. The oldest earrings archaeologists have discovered belong to Sumerian women who lived in 2500 BC, and favoured the now classic, gold hoop style. Julius Caesar turned earrings into a status symbol during his reign over Rome. In 19th century Japan, it was tradition for both Ainu men and women to wear brass hoop earrings. The history of the hoop earring is as long as human history itself.
