Hand-Forged Turquoise Swinging Hoop Sterling Silver Earrings

These hand-forged sterling silver earrings are built in our Adirondack jewelry studio, featuring green-toned oval turquoise set in serrated bezels. Surrounding each stone are two lightweight hoops that move freely, creating a layered, kinetic design. This is one-of-a-kind silver jewelry, shaped through disciplined bench work and guided by motion and balance.

Form & Wearability

Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in length, these earrings offer a refined drop with added movement. The suspended hoops create a swinging motion around the stone, bringing subtle energy to the form without adding excess weight.

Lightweight and balanced, they are designed for comfortable, everyday wear. The oval turquoise anchors the design, while the surrounding hoops introduce fluidity and dimension.

Material & Studio Practice

Forged from solid sterling silver, each element is shaped and assembled by hand using traditional silversmithing tools. The serrated bezel provides a structured frame for the turquoise, while the hoops are formed to maintain consistent movement and proportion.

An oxidized finish enhances contrast between the stone and metal, bringing forward both texture and form. This is artisan sterling silver rooted in traditional metalwork and refined through controlled, hands-on work.
