These fabulous pearl-wrapped hoop earrings were inspired by the massive hoops styles that came into fashion in the late 1780s and stayed popular into the early 1800s.  As hair got really big in the latter part of the 18th Century, earrings had to get bigger to still show.  Even as hair got smaller closer to the turn of the 19th Century, these big hoops hung on in fashion for a while.  They are super fun and unique!

These are BIG.  The earrings measure nearly 3" long in total, however they are still very lightweight and easy to wear!  The "pearls" are lightweight acrylic.  

Gold-plated leverback findinds are shown, but they are also available as hoops or clip-ons.
