Cartier Paris 5cts Diamond Huggie Hoop Earrings in 18K Yellow Gold
Located in Dallas, TX
A fabulous pair of vintage Cartier Paris diamond huggie-hoop earrings. They showcase approximately 5 carats of sparkling diamonds set in shimmering 18 karat yellow gold. Each earring’s design features four rows of scintillating round-brilliant diamonds of finest Cartier quality (F to G color and VVS to VS clarity). Earrings’ profile silhouette is gently curving and hugs the ear perfectly. By slightly elevating middle two diamond rows and slightly angling the outer rows, Cartier masterfully endowed the earrings with wonderful volume similar to that of bombe-style designs. This high-craftsmanship also creates maximum diamond exposure where glittering brilliants are on view from the front and equally from the wearer’s profile. These earrings epitomize sophisticated glamour and classic elegance for which Cartier is celebrated. They are certain to delight those who wear them. Earrings are 1 inch in length and have posts for pierced ears. They also come with their original Cartier box. Summary: - Elegant huggie-hoop style earrings from iconic Cartier bursting...

Diamond, Pearl and Antique Hoop Earrings

It is almost impossible to overstate how popular hoop earrings are today. They are routinely seen adorning the ears of high-profile women, ranging from Michelle Obama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B.

The roots of the hoop-earring phenomenon literally stretch back to the dawn of civilization. On view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to 2,600–2,500 B.C. that experts agree is among the oldest known examples. Hoop earrings can also be found in the Met’s Egyptian art gallery as well as in the museum’s displays of Greek and Roman art.

What inspired the original hoop design and why it was adopted by so many jewelers in the ancient world are unknown. It doesn’t have an origin story, feeling rather like the jewelry equivalent of the wheel. There just seems to be a logic to a circle that goes from the front to the back of the lobe.

“Hoops have been worn for millennia because they are unfathomably chic,” says Annabel Davidson, the editor of Vanity Fair UK’s special jewelry edition. “The way they accentuate the jawline, elongate the face and add a touch of flamboyance to a look is clearly a timeless expression of confidence, femininity and sartorial savvy.”

Throughout the ages, there have been countless decorative variations of hoop earrings. While the style can be found in just about every era, it was far more popular in some periods than others. Certain looks from yesteryear reflect cultural interests, while others are purely glamourous.

On 1stDibs, shop vintage diamond hoop earrings, gold hoop earrings, contemporary hoops and many more varieties of this wildly popular accessory.
