An iteration of the Princesse Ring, the Princesse Hoops are inspired by the jewel-stacked finger of Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn, the Princesse de Broglie, painted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, in 1851–53. Princesse de Broglie’s portrait depicts an arrangement of finely tooled jewels made from pearl, enamel, and gold, including a voluminous rope-like band resting in the center. An interpretation for the ear, each hoop maintains the same twisted form, and was designed to sit close to the lobe for a subtle but detailed impression.

The Princess Hoops measure 16mm wide and are crafted in 100% recycled 14k gold or sterling silver and are available in a finish of your choosing (our preference is brushed gold and polished silver as shown in the images). 

We are delighted to customize this style with higher karat metals. Reach out to us at inquiries@jhannahjewelry.com for pricing.
