Italian 14K Gold Petite Striped Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings trace their origins to ancient Egypt and Sumer around 2500 BCE, later symbolizing wealth and status in ancient Rome. They reemerged during the Renaissance adorned with pearls and gems, and became fashion staples again in the bold, expressive styles of the 1960s and 1980s. These 14K gold petite hoop earrings, weighing 1.8 grams, date from the 1970s to 1980s.

Dimensions: diameter 1/2 inch
