The Meridian Hoop Earrings
Couldn't load pickup availability
Movement, contrast, and presence in perfect alignment.
Some designs refuse to stay still.
Two open hoops. Two warm metals. One unexpected shift into darkness.
The Meridian Hoops move freely, catching the light differently with every turn. Brass brings the glow. Copper adds warmth. A partially oxidized finish interrupts the expected, creating a bold sweep of charcoal against the polished metal.
They are light enough to move with you and striking enough to change the entire look.
The Design
Each earring begins with two lengths of wire, individually shaped into open circles by hand.
The larger hoop is formed from warm brass and measures approximately 2 inches. Above it, a 1.5-inch copper hoop is partially oxidized, leaving one portion rich and warm and the other deep charcoal-black.
The two circles are connected to create movement without losing the clean, vertical structure of the design. Bright Argentium silver hook-style earwires provide a comfortable, skin-friendly finish.
The brass and copper are treated to resist tarnish and help preserve their contrasting finishes.
Because every hoop is formed by hand, slight variations in shape and measurement are expected.
No two pairs are exactly alike.
As it should be.
Wear Them
Long. Light. Unmistakably present.
Wear them with a clean neckline and let the mixed metals do the work. Pair them with silver, gold, copper, or all three. The Meridian Hoops were designed to bring everything together without matching anything too perfectly.

Materials & Care
The brass and copper have been treated to resist tarnish and protect the intentionally oxidized finish.
To preserve the treatment, avoid polishing cloths, chemical jewelry cleaners, and abrasive products. Wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth after wearing and store in a dry place.
The darkened copper is an intentional part of the design and may evolve subtly over time.
