The History of the Huggie Earrings: Sterling Silver and All
Huggies, like our beautiful Marzi earrings, are hoop earrings that “hug” the wearer’s earlobes (hence their name). Hoop earrings were worn by several ancient civilizations such as Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Asians, serving as symbols of religion and power. You don’t need to be a Greek Goddess to wear our Marzi earrings, but they will definitely make you feel like one!
Hoop earrings first originated around 2500 BC in Nubia. These original hoop earrings were made from gold, silver, and bronze. By 1000 BC, the tapered hoops spread to other cultures worldwide and continued through the centuries. A timeless classic like the Marzi shines throughout many decades and cultures.
During the 1820s, light hoop earrings became even more desirable than heavy pendant jewelry. All fashion trends reverted to historical styles — including the precious hoop earrings.
By 1910, simpler hairstyles, updos, and lower-cut outfits allowed one to flaunt earrings, once again accentuating the hoops. The 1920s and 1930s brought hoop earrings back into prominence even more. Shoulders were exposed and ladies followed entertainers in finishing their outfits with gorgeous hoops. The Marzi is a silver huggie earrings set that will take you on a journey through history, never going out of style and only getting more desirable as time goes by.
