Hoop earrings are a big trend now. Hoop earrings are one of the oldest types of jewelry worn by men and women in different cultures. For instance, we may recall ancient Greece and Rome. Obviously, hoop earrings are not an invention of the last century. Actually, hoop earrings go back to the Sumerian culture, the most ancient civilization. And, today, hoop earrings are one of the favorite types of earrings. They were extremely popular from 60s to 90s of the 20th century. Nowadays, we are happy to see the return of the hoop earring trend. Indeed, they are worn more than ever.
A few months ago, when I was travelling to Moscow, Russia, I visited the Historic Museum there. The Museum exhibits amazing artifacts. Among these, some jewelry features hoop earrings! Below, you see the images of the hoop earrings worn in the 17th century in Russia. Beautiful! I would wear them. And, as you see, they were using a lot of pearls. This is an excuse for me to repeat that pearl jewelry is timeless! As well, look how exquisite the craftsmanship was. You see a lot of small details, great proportions, wonderful finishing. Our ancestors had good taste.
