Beloved Hoops - India

$38.00

The Beloved Hoops are the kind of earrings that stop people mid-conversation. Handcrafted in India by the pioneering female metalsmiths who broke into a trade that was never meant to include them, each pair carries a story well beyond what the metal shows.

At 0.75", they sit right at the sweet spot between subtle and sculptural. The unique shape gives them presence without bulk, making them easy to wear to work, a dinner out, or anywhere in between. They are not your standard hoop and that is exactly the point.

Finished in 22k gold plated brass, the warm tone works across skin tones and seasons. A piece that is distinctive enough to notice and refined enough to reach for again and again.

Materials: 22k gold-plated brass
Size: 0.75"
Origin: Handcrafted in India

Care Instructions

Remove before contact with water (showering, swimming, washing hands). Store in a cool, dry place or a jewelry pouch when not wearing. To clean, gently wipe with a damp microfiber cloth or soft cotton after each wear. Avoid perfume, lotions, and harsh chemicals directly on the piece. With proper care, gold plating stays vibrant for years.
