I'll never forget when my fifth grade crush saw my hoop earrings and said, "I don't like hoops, I like those little gem earrings girls wear."
Number one: WHO FUCKING ASKED HIM? Number two: I was crushed.
For as long as I can remember, my parents and grandparents had been buying me hoops and I loved them to death.
Being Latina, hoops were and are a whole thing, worn with pride.
Here's my take on them:
Thick sterling silver detailed with fine silver mesh, oxidized to gunmetal perfection. A brass coil winding around freely for some kinetic action. Simple ear wire & hook closure to fasten.
Just the right size (just under an inch) for every day wear and not too heavy on the ear so you don't get a weird saggy lobe situation. Wear them with pride, mija.
