In this celebration of this millennia-old form of adornment, Gallery 2052 is hosting an exhibition of Hoop earrings. From “huggies” to shoulder dusters, hoop-style designs date back to the ancient Sumerians and ancient Egyptians. Since then they have adorned men, women, pirates and cats alike!

The Mad for Hoops call-for-entry invited artists of all backgrounds to submit their unique interpretation of a hoop-style earring. I was so pleased my cricket hoop design was chosen to be shown during this exhibition alongside contemporary jewellers from all over the world.
