Silver hoop earrings

Believe it or not, hoop earrings have been worn since ancient civilizations (Greece, Rome, Egypt) and were originally worn exclusively by men. In ancient Western Asian cultures (India, Persia, Arabia), both men and women wore them, as they were considered the best way to ward off illness and evil influences and attract good luck. During the Middle Ages, those who wore hoop earrings were considered extravagant. By the Renaissance, hoops were used by men to signify their social status and wealth. During this period, pirates particularly favored these earrings , supposedly as proof that they had successfully rounded either Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope.
