Brass Legacy Arch Earrings

A single sweeping arch cut from hammered brass, wide enough to command attention and light enough to wear from morning through evening. The textured surface catches light in vertical lines that shift as you turn.

Material: Solid hammered brass with brass earwires.

Size: Approximately 3.5 inches long and 2.5 inches at the widest point.

Origin and Craft: Handcrafted by artisan partners working in a brass tradition carried across multiple African countries, where sheet brass is cut by hand and worked with a hammer to raise the vertical texture across the face. The arch is one of the oldest forms in adornment on the continent, read as a doorway and a symbol of passage and protection. The strike marks are made one at a time, which is why the light moves differently on every pair.

Care: Store dry and away from moisture. Polish gently with a soft cloth to restore shine as the brass naturally darkens over time.

Disclaimer: Natural materials vary in color, texture, and marking. Slight differences between pieces are a signature of handmade work, not a flaw.
