In fact, in the Austrian glacier, the oldest mummified human was found to have pierced earlobes.

Before Hollywood celebrities like Beyonce and Penelope Cruz donned hoop earrings at red carpets, Mesopotamian women were the first to wear them.
Still one of the most popular designs in earrings today, hoop earrings can top off any outfit. Commonly, plain 14k and 18k gold are used, but the composition varies. Some designs come encrusted with rubies, sapphires, diamonds, and other valuable gemstones to produce a one-of-a-kind look. However, when it comes to fashion, we always want something different. Styles that have been used and are often seen in department stores just won't work for the fashionista. This is why most fashion forward women would rather choose a black onyx hoop earring.
Black and white always gives an interesting contrast. This is perhaps why platinum, white gold and silver hoops studded with black onyx is a favorite among women. The black color of the stone makes it a perfect addition to a girls' night out. Step out in black onyx white gold hoop earrings and look like a star.
Simple and elegant styles are also available for these one of a kind stones. A simple pair of yellow gold hoops encrusted with a single round black onyx can certainly do the trick for you.
Platinum is also fast becoming a popular metal used in jewelry making. It's hard not to notice them, as they are more expensive than gold. Because of their luster and brilliance, it makes a perfect combination with the mysterious black onyx. A black onyx platinum hoop earring will certainly turn heads. On the other hand, a plain hoop earring made out of sterling silver never goes out of style especialy when encrusted with timeless black onyx stones.
You'll also be able to find onyx beaded hoops in various designs. They give you a fashion-forward feel, and can really help you stand out from a crowd. A pure black onyx single beaded hoop is a simpler alternative to regular metal hoops. For a night out on the town, you can put on a pair of black onyx double beaded hoop earrings to make yourself look extra fabulous.
Black onyx hoop earrings come in a lot of different designs. You can buy them in the usual circular shape, or various other ones like stars and flowers. You will also have to take note of the size. They come in small, 18 mm earrings, to a bigger, 110 hoop earrings. If you plan to wear your hoops to work, it's best to stick to smaller sizes. However, if you want to party in those hoops, go ahead and pick bigger sizes.
Whatever the shape, design or setting, this hoop earring can add a flair of elegance to any outfit.
