GPD-E02T

A slim gold hoop rimmed along its front edge with faceted stones that shift from forest green at the top, through olive and rose, to coral at the base.

  • Material: 18K gold-plated brass
  • Stones: Tourmaline
  • Color: Multicolor
  • Size: 1.625 x 1.625 in
  • Closure: Hinged hoop
  • Origin: India

Mid-scale, sitting just below the earlobe. The beads catch light in tiny points along the arc, so the color reads almost like a painted line rather than a set of separate stones. A hoop with a color story running through it.
Details
  • Hammered gold-plated finish
  • Hand-strung faceted tourmaline rondelles
  • Multicolor stone gradient
  • Hinged closure
  • Lightweight open hoop silhouette

The tourmaline is natural stone, so color, tone and pattern shift slightly from bead to bead and pair to pair. No two hoops are identical.

The Story

India is a major hub for cutting and stringing colored gemstones, and multicolor tourmaline is valued there because a single strand can move through greens, blues and pinks without repeating a bead. Rather than setting each stone in metal, the rondelles are faceted, graded by hand, and strung so the color runs in a deliberate gradient along the hoop.

The hammered gold surface is a separate craft. Instead of a smooth cast finish, the brass band is worked by hand with a hammer to build a faceted, light-catching texture before it's plated in 18K gold. That contrast of textured metal and faceted stone is a hallmark of South Asian gemstone jewelry — the goldsmith's and the beader's work, two skilled hands on the same piece.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hammered gold with hand-strung gemstone beading

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and keep away from water and perfume to protect the plating and the stones. Store separately from other jewelry.

Questions

How big are the hoops?

They measure about 1.625 x 1.625 in — a mid-size hoop that sits just below the earlobe.

What is the hoop itself made of?

The hoop is brass that's hand-hammered for texture and then finished with an 18K gold plating.

Are the tourmaline stones natural?

Yes. The tourmaline rondelles are genuine, untreated natural stone, so color and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece.

Will my pair look exactly like the photo?

The gradient will be close, but since each stone is natural and hand-strung, the exact placement of greens and pinks will be unique to your pair.

How do I keep the gold plating from wearing off?

Keep the earrings dry, apply perfume and lotion before putting them on, wipe them with a soft cloth after wear, and store them separately from other jewelry.
