This piece had a previous life in France.

The story: Hoop earrings get their name from the fact that during the time of slavery, they were the only piece of jewelry that slaves in the West Indies were allowed to wear. They have become a strong symbol of identity for the black community. This symbolism continued in the United States in the 70s with the Black Panthers who made it their accessory of choice, but also singers such as Dona Summers or Gloria Gaynor. Finally, in the pop culture of the early 2000s, singers such as Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez made it their jewel of choice, resolutely anchoring this jewel in the repertoire of classics.
