RJX-E16

Slim gold ovals with a fringed row of tiny black beads and brass droplets spiked along the base. The cluster catches the light in short flashes as it moves.

  • Material: Gold-plated brass, black glass beads
  • Color: Black, gold
  • Length: 2.5 in
  • Width: 1.375 in
  • Closure: Lever-back
  • Origin: India

Elongated rather than round, the hoops sit long against the jaw. Most of the texture concentrates at the bottom curve, so the top reads as a clean line while the beaded fringe swings with every turn of the head.
Details
  • Oval hoop silhouette
  • Hand-wrapped wire beading
  • Lever-back closure
  • Lightweight construction

Because the bead clusters are wrapped by hand, bead placement and density vary slightly from one earring to the next.

The Story

The focal detail is wirework beading — a fine second wire threaded through small glass beads and brass balls, then wound by hand around one section of the hoop. Wrap by wrap, the cluster locks in place without solder or glue.

Brass is a workhorse metal in Indian jewelry making: affordable, durable, and easy to plate, cut and shape into pieces that read as substantial without the cost of precious metal. Pairing a smooth drawn hoop with a hand-wrapped bead cluster contrasts a clean line with an intricate, handworked detail on the same piece.

This pair is made by women artisans in India. Every wrap is placed by hand rather than machine-set, so the artisan controls the density and shape of each cluster individually — which is why no two hoops in a pair are perfectly identical.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-wrapped wire beading

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store away from moisture and perfume to protect the gold plating.

Questions

What are these earrings made of?

The hoops are gold-plated brass, and the bead clusters are black glass beads wrapped in place with fine brass wire.

How big are they?

About 2.5 inches long and 1.375 inches wide.

What kind of closure do they have?

A lever-back closure, which is secure and easy to open and close one-handed.

Will the gold plating wear off?

Gold plating can fade over time with heavy wear or exposure to moisture and perfume. Store them dry and wipe them clean after wearing to help the finish last.

Why does the bead cluster look a little different on each earring?

Because the wire wrapping is done by hand, each cluster is shaped individually, so slight variation between the two earrings is normal.
