bamboo earrings
Lightweight wooden loops
Bamboo earrings are hoop earrings featuring a textured pattern resembling bamboo segments, typically large and made of gold or gold-toned metal.
Strongly associated with Black and Latina women's fashion since the 1980s, they became a symbol of urban style and cultural identity.
The phrase gained wider recognition through hip-hop, notably LL Cool J's "Around the Way Girl": I want a girl with extensions in her hair, bamboo earrings, at least two pair.
