The Aperture Earring forms a clean hoop shape with a small opening at the base, where two short lines extend upward to frame the space between them. The negative space becomes part of the design, giving the piece a light, sculptural feel.
Minimal but distinctive, it creates the look of a full hoop while keeping the structure simple and airy.
Handmade in Seattle using recycled metals, the Aperture Earring is lightweight, comfortable, and designed for effortless everyday wear.

Our Sustainability Practices
We believe it’s our responsibility to our planet to be as low-impact and sustainable as possible. We’ve worked hard and are extremely proud of the results of our efforts.
Recycled Metal Content
Nearly all of the metals that are used to make our jewelry come from a recycled source. Whether it be a stud earring, a jump-ring on a necklace or the plating that is on a bracelet, we’ve worked to source recycled and responsible materials.
Zero-Waste Manufacturing
Our production studio in Seattle is a zero-waste facility. We take great effort and pride in making sure that materials that are normally considered unusable by manufacturers find their way into hands of those who will use them. Whether it be recycling our scrap metals, sending small bits of gold that we have gathered for years to be re-processed or donating components to local schools who teach jewelry classes.
