The Scandinavian name Erika means “eternal ruler + forever strong”. For us, the concentric rings of this design, evoke images of a warrior's shield – something to protect + remind us of our own strength. Each piece is made in our sunny California studio + meticulously hand fabricated by us. The center of each piece features a gold-fill metal circular hoop that's been hammered flat, surrounded by hand painted metallic rings. The acrylic is then hand shaped with a variety of jewelers tools, hand sanded + buffed to a matte/brushed finish. Measures 1 3/4" T x 7/8" W. Handformed gold-fill or sterling silver earwires.
