Oyster Hoops

Unique large hoop earrings with dimension and texture that mimic Kumamoto oyster shells.

• Available in ultra-shiny recycled brass or sterling silver
• 14k gold-filled or sterling silver earring posts and backings
• Measures 1.5" long and 1.2" wide

Instructions for wearing:

• Because of how I designed these earrings, there is an ideal left earring and right earring so that the carved/detailed sides show more from the front.
• Put these earrings on with the carved/detailed sides facing inward, toward your face (not outward, away from your face). When they're on, they will sit at a 45-degree angle and you can see the carved/detailed sides (vs. the smooth back sides) more from the front. See model photos for examples.

Handcrafted in New York with love, the Oyster Hoops were originally carved in wax, then cast in metal and polished by hand.

Each piece is handmade to order and will take an average 7-14 business days to arrive to you.

You can use the polishing cloth that comes with your piece on SUBLIMA components that are 100% recycled brass or recycled sterling silver. Avoid using the polishing cloth on components that are gold-filled or gold-plated.

Don't wash your polishing cloth, which contains special cleansing agents that are micro-abrasive.

Over time, your jewelry will come into contact with moisture and oils from your skin and the air, which exposes the metal to oxygen, causing oxidation. The result is that jewelry can appear less shiny, which is why we provide a polishing cloth with every piece. It's the most effective and efficient after testing all the DIY options.

In addition to using the polishing cloth, here’s how you can help preserve the jewelry's shine:

• Apply lotion, perfume or hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
• Remove your jewelry before working out, swimming or showering.
• Minimize contact with hard surfaces to prevent scratching.
• Store your jewelry in its velvet baggie.

Because our pieces are made to order, it takes 7-14 days to make and deliver your jewelry. Pieces that are in stock and ready to ship will be delivered sooner. Standard shipping on all U.S. orders is free via USPS Priority Mail. You can also pay for expedited options.

If you'd like to process a return for a refund, or exchange, you can email hey@sublimajewelry.com within 30 days of receiving your order.

Our recycled metals are sourced from a New York-based refiner called United Precious Metal Refining, Inc., which is certified for products with 100% recycled content. Metal recycling conserves natural resources, energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycled Brass: A brighter and whiter version of the yellow metal that resembles 14k gold when polished. Brass is a copper and zinc alloy, and our version uses a lower level of copper, which makes the brass brighter.

Recycled Sterling Silver: Our sterling silver is deoxidized, which has a higher resistance to tarnish.

Components—Gold-Filled, Gold-Plated, Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel: For earring components and necklace findings, we use gold-filled or sterling silver. For necklace chains, we use gold-filled, gold-plated and stainless steel. Gold-filled items are made with a solid layer of gold constituting 5% of the item’s weight, on a base of brass or stainless steel. Gold plating refers to a thinner layer of gold that’s applied to the surface of brass or stainless steel.
