Each hoop starts its life as a piece of sterling silver wire. The wire is formed into a circle so that the ends meet up perfectly. Then, the hoop is soldered with a jewelry torch. The process does not end here! The hoop is then reshaped into a perfect circle (or teardrop, rectangle, marquise, etc.), soldered, filed, hammered and polished by hand. Time, care and lots of love are put into each hoop.Freshwater pearls, gemstones, and other unique glass beads are sometimes added to the hoops. However, the plain sterling silver hoops are just as fun to wear.
We use different gauges of wire as well as different hammering techniques to achieve different thicknesses of hoops. The organic hoop is one of our popular hoops. We call these "organic" due to the unique shape created through the hammering process. We hammer them really, really hard!
