Mixed Metal Nugget Hoops
Nugget jewelry is a vibe and for myself, a personal favorite. I have worn these hoops every day since I made them. I've worn them with yoga pants, sweatpants, a sexy dress with knee-high boots, and a T-shirt and jeans. They go with everything.
I melted down scrap silver and formed the nuggets. I then went through the process of sculpting, sanding, and polishing them to provide unique, organic wearable art. They rest atop hand-cut and hammered brass spheres and brass hoops. They feature handmade 18k gold-filled ear hooks.
Every nugget will be different. It will have its own caverns and plateaus, which is reflective of the organic manifestations we see in nature.
