These 1 1/4 inch hexagon earrings in niobium wire may be a great options for sensitive ears. These 20 gauge geometric hoops are modern in design and style. Hammered and cold forged, these earrings have become my 'go to' hoops for some time. The colour is similar to an oxidized sterling silver and seems to change through cool neutral shades depending on the environment. I kept them large enough to make an artisan statement and the lightweight niobium (over 20% lighter than sterling silver) keeps the earrings comfortable to wear all week.
The earrings are about 1 1/4" long and will be shipped in a splurge gift tin. Please expect subtle variation in each pair of handmade earrings.
Niobium is considered hypoallergenic and is often recommended for people with sensitivities to other metals. Additional niobium earrings can be found in my shop here:
