Interlocking Pearl Hoop Drop Earrings

• Interlocking double-hoop silhouette
• Pearls wired individually along the full circumference
• Lightweight despite the scale
• Dangling drop that catches the light

Each pearl is wired on by hand, so slight variations in spacing and pearl placement between pairs are normal.

The shape is built rather than cast. A brass wire frame is bent into two connected circles, then pearls are threaded onto fine wire and coiled tightly around that frame one at a time, until the metal disappears under a continuous surface of pearl.

The technique sits closer to beadwork than to standard hoop-making. Each wind of wire holds a single pearl in place, and the finished hoop is a record of that repetition — small movements, done evenly, dozens of times per earring.

Keeping the tension even is the harder part. Pearls have to sit flush against one another and the hoop has to hold its round shape without sagging, which comes down to a steady hand across the full circumference.

• Technique: Wire-wrapped pearl hoop work

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Store flat or hanging away from moisture and perfume to protect the plating and pearl surface.
