Libra • Endless Hoop Charm Earring
Libra, the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac, lies between Virgo to the west and Scorpio to the east. It is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac. All the others represent either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard Libra as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year - the high point of the seasons - when everything is in balance and the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is rewarded.
The “Scales of Balance” date back to Egyptian afterlife Finial Judgement rituals where Anubis, "God of the Dead", would use the scales to weigh the heart of the deceased against a feather from Ma'at, the "Goddess of Truth and Justice".
It is also thought that Libra is the "Goddess of Balance and Truth" which corresponds with Ma'at, the Egyptian "Goddess of the Scales or Balance". In Roman mythology, the Libra constellation depicts the Scales held by Astraea (identified as the constellation Virgo), the "Goddess of Justice".

Designed to mix or match. How will you wear yours?
Always remember to put your jewelry on last when getting dressed. AFTER cosmetics, perfume, hairspray, lotions, or other chemical substances that could be corrosive to the metal or stones. Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cotton cloth before storage.
For sterling silver or 18k gold, a few drops of a mild PH neutral soap with water and a soft cotton cloth. Dry thoroughly before storing. A light sweep with a polishing cloth on the high surfaces while allowing the dark to remain in the crevices will highlight the design's details. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials as they can damage the metal, finish, and stones.
Let your antiqued or oxidized silver weather naturally. Do not clean or polish.
Bead pieces should always be dried flat, never hung.
For deep cleaning or restorations, we recommend sending your pieces to the studio as many of our finishing techniques are proprietary. Each request is handled individually, please contact the studio to discuss.
We do not use cadmium or zinc in our any of our gold, sterling, or solder. All of our earring designs incorporate a 14k gold hoop or post back with butterfly clutch. And our 18k white gold is nickel free. This should cover most common metal allergies, if something different is needed, please contact the studio we are happy to discuss recommendations.
