CodebyEdge, founded by Donald Edge, has launched a new collection of Sade-inspired hoop earrings, taking the iconic style worn by the singer in the 1980s and 1990s to the next level of comfort and innovation. Known for her love of hoop earrings, Sade made the style an enduring symbol of elegance and individuality. Now, these hoops are available to the public, offering customization options such as hidden messages encoded in Morse or binary code.
Donald Edge, the creative force behind the design, worked with Sade in 2011 to create a pair of diamond hoops for her world tour. These original earrings were made with 18k white gold and designed for maximum comfort. The new versions, crafted from titanium, are up to 70% lighter than the original, thanks to advances in technology. Titanium, a challenging material for fine jewelry, has allowed for the creation of lighter yet strong and durable earrings.
The new Sade Hoop Earrings come in two sizes: the Iconic (65mm in diameter and 3mm in width) and the Fine (60mm in diameter and 2mm in width). The price varies based on the materials, including natural or lab-grown diamonds, colored stones, platinum, recycled gold, and titanium.
“These earrings are crafted with the wearer in mind, ensuring maximum comfort without compromising on elegance,” said Edge. “They are designed to be personal, offering a unique feature with the ability to encode hidden messages within each hoop.”
Sade’s Influence on the Design
Although Sade was not directly involved in the production of the new earrings, her impact on the style remains evident. Her hoop earrings became a cultural symbol, embraced by women of all ages after seeing her wear them in music videos and public appearances. Sade’s look transcended fashion trends, creating a lasting legacy of effortless, chic, and powerful style. Edge credits Sade for making hoops a timeless and universal symbol of individuality and elegance.
Reflecting on his work with Sade, Edge says, “Her hoops became not just a piece of jewelry but a cultural symbol. Working with her was an incredible experience; her style has influenced so many, including me.”
Edge, coming from an antique jewelry background, appreciates the versatility and lasting appeal of hoop earrings, which have been worn across different cultures and eras. For him, hoops provide a perfect canvas for creative expression. He adds, “Hoops are universally flattering and wearable, striking the right balance between function and artistry.”
The new Sade Hoop Earrings continue to honor the legacy of Sade’s timeless style, ensuring her influence on fashion and culture lives on through these beautiful designs.
