Edwardian 9ct Gold Small Faceted Hoop Earrings
I love all hoops, within reason, but antique ones always excite me a little bit. They remind us that hoops are not an 80s phenomenon but have been around for literally centuries! These ones take on a classic design typical of circa 1920, the open crescent hoops are softly faceted on one side (letting the light bounce off them beautifully) and smooth on the other. A super subtle day and night look perhaps?
A lighter touch is needed with old hoops but they are perfectly secure and suitable for everyday wear (just don’t sleep in them!).
Era
Circa 1920
Material
9ct yellow gold (with the tiniest touch of warmth).
Hallmarks
stamped 9ct on each hoop
Measurements
15mm across, whole drop measures 21.5mm
Condition
good antique condition, one tiny ding on one hoop over the 9ct mark, not noticeable when worn
