my friend and costume designer extraordinaire Kristin Dangl is never without her hoop earrings. she loves my jewelry designs and commissioned me to make these Bark Hoop Earrings for her and i loved them so much i decided to add them as a permanent fixture to my Earth collection. they're super lightweight so you hardly notice them in your ears. it's a twist on the traditional hoop earring with a more natural organic shape and textured finish. love!
