Browse Silver Hoop Earrings
Silver hoop earrings and the more elaborate pendant earring are said to have originated in Eastern Asia around 3000 B.C., but gemstones were not widely used until the Roman Empire in the 2 nd century A.D. The Empress Theodora, during the Byzantine period, was known to favor earrings set with long chains of gems that dangled down each side of the face.
In modern times, gold and silver hoop earrings have long been seen as a female affectation. Only recently has the stigma of what was thought to be a feminine adornment lifted, and ear piercing as a practice has become socially acceptable again for males. Still, men seem to shy away from the more ostentatious and decorative earrings, and opt for simple silver hoop earrings or tiny studs.
In order to keep your silver hoop earrings and other silver jewelry looking their best, a polishing solution and soft cotton cloth is all you need to shine up any piece of silver jewelry. But for a home remedy any white toothpaste and a soft toothbrush will do.
