Timeless Hoop Earrings Tantalise and Bewitch
“Timeless” is definitely the word for this fascinating jewellery for the ear. The origin of hoop earrings is lost in the past. We can be sure, though, that some beautiful and clever girl noticed that men love to watch the way women sway in their movements, and set out to find all the ways a woman could tantalise and bewitch a man.
A bit of female inspiration, a glimmer of gold in the firelight, and our clever girl bewitched a goldsmith into making a circlet of gold that could be fastened into the earlobe; hey presto, the first pair of hoop earrings. A ring that’s worn on the ear.
Some earrings just sit on an ear; the hoop earring wears a woman as much as the other way round. See how they move in relation to a woman’s head and neck. The slight shiver as she turns her head; the sway as she walks. You can almost tell a woman’s mood with them, almost as you can tell a cat’s mood by her tail; the dancing jingle that accompanies a big, happy smile, the sudden snap as she looks away in anger.
What design of earring is a more flattering gift to a beautiful woman, yet such a useful barometer of mood for her man?
Diamonds seal the deal, of course; for what other gem mirrors the beauty of the woman that wears it?
They can be large and showy, or small, like drops of crystal. Diamonds go with hoop earrings in so many lovely ways. They can be channel-set into the earring, or shimmer off of the hoop like the tears of angels. Or, the hoop unadorned, swaying next to a perfect, icy diamond solitaire. Classic, yet somehow almost pagan.
Diamonds and hoops go with so many styles and moods. Soft, faded jeans and a crisp white shirt-waist, sweet small hoops with friendly little diamonds go to a picnic of champagne and pate on the green. Large square hoops and a little black dress at the opening of a friend’s gallery. Up-swept hair and violet silk with hoops dripping diamonds at a compulsory, stuffy business do.
There are as many kinds of hoops and diamonds to go with them, as the reasons to buy them. Thick, thin, large, small, every style brings out a new beauty to savour. Diamonds of every hue and cut seem to sway just at candlelight level, doing such magical things to her eyes. When you first met, you thought she couldn’t be more beautiful; aren’t you glad you’ve found a way to adorn her?
