Gemini • Endless Hoop Charm Earring
The constellation Gemini lies between Taurus to the west and Cancer to the east. Latin for "twins," Gemini is the third astrological sign in the zodiac and is best identified by its two brightest stars, Castor and Pollux.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux explore the duality of life - mortality and immortality - forever intertwined and perpetually in conflict. Sons of the god Zeus and their mortal mother Leda. A mix of the base and divine, with Castor being the mortal brother and Pollux the immortal. Legendary adventurers and fighters, their story illustrates the dilemma of the human condition. When Castor was slain in battle, inconsolable with grief, Pollux begged his father Zeus to relieve him of the bonds of immortality, so that he could join his brother Castor in the great beyond. To this day, Pollux and Castor stand united in the heavens above.

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.
