Loved Studs - India

$32.00

The Loved Studs are a 22k gold-plated heart stud earring handcrafted by the first female metalsmiths in all of India. At 0.3", they are small enough to wear every single day and meaningful enough that people always notice the detail.

A heart that sits close to the ear is a simple concept. What makes the Loved Studs different is who made them. Women who broke into metalsmithing before it was open to them, who built a trade for themselves through skill and persistence, and who now put that same care into every pair that leaves their hands.

They work for all ages, all styles, and all occasions. The 22k gold-plated finish brings warmth and shine that holds up with everyday wear. A small earring with a big story behind it.

Size: 0.3"
Materials: 22k gold-plated brass
