Black Onyx Hoop EarringsBlack onyx hoop earrings have been around for a long, long time. In fact, a pair of hoop earrings that were found at an archaeological site in Iraq is believed to date back to 2500 BC, which means that Mesopotamian women were the first to start wearing hoop earrings for style-thousands of years before Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Aniston, and Penelope Cruz proudly graced Hollywood wearing their signature hoop earrings! .
Throughout the ages, onyx earrings have remained as one of the most popular earring designs. They are commonly produced in white gold, gold, silver, platinum and titanium settings. In addition to onyx, the settings often contain other are gemstones such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds to render a wide variety of unique designs. Obviously, earrings that are set in more valuable precious metals, or in larger quantities of them, will cost more. Should the settings be made from very expensive metals such as platinum or very high grade gold, the price of the earrings will surely top the thousand dollar mark and far higher if the settings also contain diamonds or other precious gemstones. All hoop earrings are circular in shape, with the circles ranging from being perfectly round to more oblong variations. There are several commonly used fastening systems, but the most popular is the wire and tube method, in which a thin wire fastened to one end of the earring penetrates the ear and once through it inserts into a hollow tube fastened to the opposing end of the earring. The wire is held fast in the hollow tube by the tension produced by the shape of the earring itself and hoop earrings rarely, if ever, work their way loose and fall from the wearer’s ear.
