A slender brass bar drops from the ear, ending in a small arch that cradles a round horn disc. The line is spare; the disc, warm and luminous, holds the composition.

  • Material: Natural horn and hand-hammered brass
  • Color: Honey and gold
  • Length: 2.5–3 in
  • Width: 1.25 in
  • Closure: Fish hook
  • Sold as: Pair
  • Origin: Kenya

The drop lands well below the jawline, where the disc's honey, cream and taupe striations shift in the light as they move. Spare hardware, a single warm focal point. The pair reads considered rather than delicate, and the horn keeps the weight light for its length.
Details
  • Lightweight construction
  • Hand-hammered brass bar and arched cradle
  • Polished natural horn disc
  • Rustic hammered finish
  • Natural color variation disc to disc

Horn is a natural material and each disc is polished by hand, so color, grain and small surface irregularities vary from pair to pair.

The Story

The disc is cut and polished from cattle horn — a byproduct material with a long history in East African jewelry, worked as an alternative to plastic or imported shell. Each disc is cleaned, cut and sanded to bring out its natural striations of honey, cream and taupe.

The brass bar and the small arched cradle are shaped by hand from sheet and wire in small Kenyan workshops. Hammering both textures and work-hardens the metal, leaving faint faceted surfaces along the bar and the curve.

The two elements are joined by hand at the jump ring. Because each disc is polished separately and each bar is hammered individually, no two pairs come out the same.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-hammered brass with horn

Keep dry and store in a pouch or dish away from moisture — both horn and brass can dull with prolonged water exposure.

Questions

What is the disc made of?

Natural cattle horn, cut and polished by hand. Tone and grain range from honey to cream to smoky taupe, and vary from pair to pair.

How long do these earrings hang?

About 2.5 to 3 inches long including the hook, and about 1.25 inches wide at the disc.

Are they heavy to wear?

No. Both the horn and the hand-hammered brass are lightweight, so the long drop stays comfortable through the day.

How should I care for the horn and brass?

Keep them dry and store them in a pouch or dish away from moisture. Both horn and brass can dull or discolor with prolonged water exposure.

Will my pair look exactly like the photo?

Close, but not identical. Each horn disc is individually polished, so slight variation in color and grain is expected.
