Letra Hoops

£140.00

This item is made to order, please allow two weeks for your piece to be complete.

Through a pair of timeless hoops with playful mini letter pendants, the everyday hoop earrings from La Letra invite you to celebrate yourself or your most treasured relationships by adding a touch of personalisation.

Available in recycled sterling silver and fairmined gold plating, each letter is an exact replica of Kitty’s handwriting; inspired by the notes made in her design notebook, and building on her love of organic, real silhouettes. Designed to stand out, these earrings are the ultimate everyday companion that fall perfectly to dance along the jaw.

The hoop frames are created by hand forging wire, and the letter pendants are hand pierced from recycled sheet metal at Kitty’s bench - making each pendant totally unique to one another, and in Kitty’s words ‘imperfectly perfect’. The letters and hoops are then locally cast in Hatton Garden before returning to the studio to be assembled and completed in the brand’s signature textured finish.

What is cold cure enamel? 
Cold enamelling is a solvent-free material mixed with resin to bring colour, strength, and durability. Slight variations in colour and traces of the artisanal process are part of the art of hand-painted enamel work, making each piece unique. We advise that you remove your jewellery before bathing or swimming, as salt water and humidity can degrade the enamel.

You need to look after your jewellery to keep it in perfect condition. We advise to keep all your pieces in a safe and dry place when it's not being worn.
