Rich in contrast and full of cultural depth, the Karnataka Hoop Hangers pair the dark, oxidised tone of black silver with the warm glow of a golden brass bead. Inspired by the traditional tribal jewellery of Southern India’s Karnataka region, this design celebrates duality, light and shadow, strength and refinement.

The hoops themselves are seamless rings, available in two finishes: plain for a clean, minimal aesthetic, or hammered for a textured, organic feel. Threaded onto them is the intricately carved Karnataka bead, with its three-dimensional geometric patterns that echo South Indian heritage. Each component can be worn on its own: the sleek black silver hoops for everyday body jewellery styling, or the golden bead threaded onto a chain as a pendant, transforming it into a necklace.

Lightweight and comfortable, these hangers are designed for daily wear while carrying symbolic weight, making them versatile staples in any body jewellery collection. The interplay between black silver and gold creates a striking visual balance that feels both ancient and modern, a true homage to cultural tradition reimagined through contemporary design.
