Bamboo is integral to many cultures across the globe because of its unique qualities and virtues. The plant’s tall and robust trunk represents stability, growth and resilience, whereas its ability to swing with the wind demonstrates balance. The history of bamboo earrings can be dated back to the hip-hop and rap music culture in the 90s and early 2000s. Flashy, statement-making, bamboo-shaped door-knocker earrings were a raging trend. However, the bamboo earring did not become widely popular until singers such as Salt-N-Pepa, Rihanna, LL Cool J and Roxanne Shante popularized it in mainstream media. Over the years, these earrings have found their place in the realm of fine jewelry and are trending hard. To help you rock this 90s trend, we have put together this guide on how to style bamboo earrings.
