Brief History Of Hoop Earrings.

Hoop earrings can be traced back to ancient civilizations and were worn by people in numerous cultures including Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Asians. The first hoop earrings were originated in the African civilization of Nubia (currently Sudan). In ancient Egypt, both men and women wore hoop earrings to enhance their physical appearance and symbolize their wealth.  Many Roman and Greek women adopted the accessory, along with some high-status men. Historical carvings depict Persian soldiers wearing single hoop earrings. 

During the early 1900s in the US, there was a general stance of negativity that many people held in regard to hoop earrings.  Fortunately, the stigma surrounding hoop earrings was relatively short-lived in the US; and the accessory saw a significant comeback in the styles of American women.  This change was due to the fashion crazes surrounding low-cut outfits and simpler hairstyles that showed off people’s ears rather than keeping them covered. 

Hoop earrings have proven to be a timeless piece of jewelry that have remained stylish and relevant for multiple decades and generations. The hoop's popularity is due to its versatility. Hoops can be paired with various outfits and occasions. And can be worn to the office, on a date or a fun night on the town.
