Hoop earrings were popular within the ancient Greek culture, dating back to the 5th century BC. The Baye Earrings, in cross-brushed 18k Gold Vermeil, have seven hand-shaped semi-circles that hang symmetrically and ripple in harmony as they move. The number seven has a very particular symbolic meaning. Considered to be beneficial and protective in many cultures, the seven is the Seeker, the Thinker and the Searcher of Truth.
