Brushed Gold C-Hoops

Some pieces look as if they were found rather than made, like an ancient ornament or something worn smooth by time.

These hoops are cut as a broad, flat crescent that stays open at the top in a bold C. The surface has a brushed, softly aged finish, matte with warm patches of light and shadow, so it looks more like hand-worked brass than shiny new gold. A slim inner rim gives each hoop depth and a clean, architectural edge.

Seen from the front, the wide band frames the face like a piece of sculpture. Wear them with your hair pulled back and let them be the only thing you wear. They look good with linen, a black knit or bare shoulders, and they hold their own from morning to evening.
