14k Vintage Hoops Circa 1940
Hoop earrings are worn by many people throughout the world today and continue to be one of the oldest fashion trends alive. Hoops are empowering. They symbolize strength and international fashion. Being a circle, hoop earrings show unity, infinity, and wholeness.Â
Hoop earrings have been a staple of Latino culture. As minorities and immigrants in America and Europe, hoop earrings became a symbol of strength, identity, and resistance to discrimination. For young Latino girls, it is common to receive a pair of small hoop earrings at a young age from their mothers or grandmothers.
Hoop earrings are for the bold. Extremely peculiar and all-around wonderful, these nicely hallmarked vintage hoops recall an earlier era with an archaeological revival design to their sharp geometry and boule-like finishes to each of the points at the bottom.
