Boucheron Paris Gold Ropetwist and Diamond Hoop Earrings
These Boucheron Paris gold ropetwist and diamond hoop earrings are a stylish 1970s form. The earrings are designed as ropetwist hoops flexibly suspended from conforming tops surmounted by a field of pave-set round brilliant-cut diamonds. A playful version of the popular doorknocker, with an organic, dynamic feel, these glowing gold hoops highlighted by bright diamonds enhance the sparkle of the eyes.

In keeping with the carefree spirit of the 1970s, designers and wearers of jewelry broke all the conventional rules—diamonds, once confined to white metals mountings, were set casually in gold, while women were at last unconstrained about wearing jewels with diamonds during the day, if they so chose.
