Gold hoops were worn freely through the halls of Crete’s ancient palaces (2000-1600 BC) and by women in Mesopotamia circa 2500 BC. They have been “in” for at least 5,000 years now.

The dainty gold designs were a staple of the 1990s R&B scene, with musical hitmakers such as Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna pairing the pieces with each and every modish outfit.
