A wide silver band curves close to the lobe, its outer face covered in small hammered facets that catch and scatter light as the head turns.

Material: Silver-plated mixed metal alloy
Color: Silver
Size: 1 in × 1.25 in
Origin: Türkiye

The inside stays smooth and polished; the texture lives only on the face you see. Medium in scale — presence at the ear without tipping into oversized. A hoop with more dimension than the standard polished version.

Details

Hammered outer face
Lightweight hollow hoop
Hypoallergenic plating
C-shaped silhouette

The hammered pattern is worked by hand, so no two pairs read exactly the same. Small variations across the facets are normal.

The Story

The texture comes from hand-hammering — a smith working the metal with a small-faced hammer to raise a field of small facets across the outer face. It's what makes a hoop like this scatter light instead of just reflecting it.

The piece starts as a flat or half-round metal blank, cut to length and curved into the C-shape. The hammering follows, applied across the face before the whole hoop is finished with silver plating.

Türkiye has a long working history of metalsmithing by hand, and hammering is one of the fundamental techniques in that toolkit — no elaborate machinery, just a hammer, a steady hand and time.

Craft & Care

Technique: Hand-hammered metalwork

Wipe clean with a soft cloth after wear and store separately so the plated surface doesn't scratch against other pieces. Keep away from water, perfume and lotion.
