The hoop design of the earrings is inspired by the ropes that support large suspension bridges in straits as well as the Shimenawa which are a type of straw rope seen in Japanese shrines that represent the connection between people and the earth, like a bridge, even in harsh situations or environments in the present moment. They are a simple and elegantly designed pair of earrings in black plated sterling silver which can fit in different ways to broaden your styling.
