Description
These brass hoop earrings are the kind of piece that works with everything and improves with age. Solid hand-hammered brass, warm and golden, each pair carrying the subtle marks of the hammer that shaped it. No two are identical. Brass has been used in jewelry and adornment for thousands of years for its warmth, its workability, and the way it develops a living patina that makes it feel more yours over time. This is a piece for the person who wants something simple, well-made, and built to last.
Brass is associated with warmth, grounding, and endurance. Wear it when you want something that feels solid and real.
Why Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, warm-toned and durable, with a natural golden color that develops a living patina over time. Long used in jewelry and metalwork across cultures for its warmth and workability. Chosen for its earthy golden tone, its weight and presence, and its ability to be shaped and textured by hand. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful metal with a warmth that fits real life.

How These Handmade Brass Earrings Are Made
Each pair of brass hoop earrings is made by hand in my small Santa Fe studio. I shape and hammer each hoop individually, no casting molds, no mass production. Small-batch studio production ensures every pair carries the maker’s touch. Every handmade brass earring pair from this studio is one of a kind.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain brightness or let the patina deepen naturally. Brass develops a warm, lived-in tone over time that many customers love. If you prefer brightness, a gentle brass polish will restore the original shine.
