From our friends at Mountainside: Carved minimal inverted light weight hoop stud earrings. A unique take on a classic style. Earrings are available in recycled brass coated in a thick layer of high grade 14k gold. Includes silicone earring backs which we’ve found to be most comfortable and secure and best suited to this style of earring. Made in the U.S.A. CARE: Most metals will naturally patina over time, however, there are measures you can take to prolong the life of your jewelry.
