Description
Vintage small high karat 22k gold hoop ethnic earrings.
About 2cm tall, these hoops are likely Indian, yet they structure very much like old Portuguese earrings from the 18th century, just smaller.
The filigree wraps around a basket form, and the pair wears like a modern huggie earring, wrapping the earlobes with little excess space.
This is really nice if you want to go for a bright yellow traditional look, where the earrings look bohemian by sitting perfectly as a part of your earlobes!
Solidly structured and not flimsy at all. They feel like a pair of miniature locks.
These are widest at 16mm.
Modern eyes would regard these wistful, bright yellow hoops as more like traditional jewelry compared to 18k modern hoops. It is this reason they stand out.
