Ruby Briolette Hoop Earrings | Handmade Sterling Silver Hoops | Artisan Gemstone Earrings
A sterling silver wire, its ends balled and looped by hand, is coaxed into a perfect 30mm circle and joined at the center by a genuine ruby briolette — deep, warm, and luminous. Fine gauge brass wire is threaded through the ruby and wrapped around the silver on each side, binding stone to metal with quiet precision. The result is a hoop that is at once minimal and intricate, modern and deeply handcrafted.
The genuine ruby catches the light beautifully against the bright sterling silver, the warm brass wire wrapping adding an organic, artisan quality that sets these earrings apart from anything mass produced. Every detail is intentional, every wrap placed by hand.
Lightweight and elegant, these handmade sterling silver hoop earrings are the kind of piece that elevates everything — equally at home dressed up or worn casually with ease.
A stunning artisan gemstone jewelry gift for the woman who appreciates genuine stones, fine metalwork, and one of a kind design.

The Process
Each piece begins as raw metal — silver, brass, gold — shaped slowly by hand, sawn into delicate botanical lines that echo late summer's last bloom and autumn's first crisp edge. Real leaves, ferns, and hydrangeas are pressed directly into the metal, leaving behind the exact impression of something that once grew wild. Gemstones catch the same seasonal hues — floral pinks, mossy greens, the deep amber of turning leaves — set one at a time, each piece entirely its own. Made to be worn close, lived in, and carried through every season that shaped it.
