A dense crescent of small faceted black beads packs the lower arc of a warm gold hoop, thinning toward the open top so the shape reads clean and graphic against the ear.

  • Material: Gold-plated brass, faceted glass beads
  • Color: Black and gold
  • Size: 1.875 x 1.75 in
  • Closure: Hinged hoop
  • Origin: India

At just under two inches across, the hoops sit close to the ear and catch light with every turn of the head. The hollow tube construction keeps the weight down, so despite the densely packed beadwork the pair wears comfortably from morning through evening.

Details
  • Hand-wrapped beaded cluster
  • Hinged hoop closure
  • Lightweight hollow tube construction
  • Crescent silhouette

Each pair is wrapped by hand, so slight variation in bead placement and density from one earring to the next is normal.

The Story

The beadwork is built up section by section: small faceted glass beads threaded onto fine wire, then wrapped and knotted around the lower curve of the hoop so each cluster sits tight against the metal rather than swinging free. That bead-by-bead approach is what gives the crescent its density and its slightly uneven, hand-finished edge.

India has a long working tradition of beadwork and metal jewelry, and this pair applies the same hand skill to a contemporary silhouette. The crescent here is a graphic design choice rather than a symbolic one — a heritage technique in service of a current, wearable shape.

The hoop itself is a lightweight hollow tube, gold-plated after the wirework is finished. Because every bead is placed and secured by hand, the exact density and spacing shift slightly from one earring to the next.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-wrapped beadwork

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store flat in a pouch, away from moisture and perfume, to protect the gold plating and the beadwork.

Questions

Are the black beads real gemstones?

No — they are faceted black glass beads, individually wrapped by hand onto the gold-plated brass hoop.

How do these earrings close?

A hinged hoop closure with a click-shut clasp, so they stay secure without a separate backing piece.

Will the gold plating wear off?

With normal wear and the care steps noted, the plating should hold up well. Like any plated jewelry, it can dull faster with heavy moisture or friction.

Are they heavy to wear?

No. The hoop is a lightweight hollow tube, so despite the clustered beadwork they sit comfortably for all-day wear.

Will my pair look exactly like the photo?

Very close, but not identical. Since each cluster of beads is wrapped by hand, small variations in placement and spacing are normal.
