Turquoise Hoop Earrings in Hand-Forged Sterling Silver

Hand-forged in our Adirondack jewelry studio, these sterling silver hoop earrings feature a faceted hammered surface with a single turquoise accent suspended at the base. Built as a foundational studio form, each pair is recreated in small batches using traditional silversmithing techniques. Form & Wearability Measuring just over 1 inch in diameter, these hoops are scaled for daily wear. The lightweight construction allows for comfortable movement, while the hammered surface introduces subtle facets that catch and reflect light. A small turquoise stone sits at the base of each hoop, adding a grounded point of color without disrupting the clean circular form. The balance between metal and stone keeps the design minimal and structured. Material & Studio Practice Crafted from artisan sterling silver, these handcrafted silver earrings are shaped, hammered, and assembled using traditional silversmithing tools in our Adirondack jewelry studio. Each hoop is formed by hand and hammered to create light-reflective texture. The turquoise is set with precision to maintain alignment and proportion within the design. As part of our hand-forged sterling silver jewelry practice, these earrings are recreated in small batches. Slight variations occur naturally as a result of direct bench work.
