The Harmony of Opposites
- Byzantine Architecture, Miniaturized — Each square catches light from a different angle, creating a moiré-like shimmer as you move. hoops
- Two-Tone: Match Everything, Commit to Nothing — Warm 18K gold plating on the raised lattice squares, cool rhodium silver on the recessed grid lines. These huggies pair with every piece in your jewelry wardrobe — gold, silver, rose, platinum — all at once. hoops
- Wider Band, Bolder Presence — The wider surface provides a larger canvas for the lattice pattern, maximizing its visual impact without increasing the overall diameter. hoops
Styling Tips
Wear the Byzantine Lattice as a solo statement in your first lobe piercing for maximum impact. For a rich ear stack, pair with a simple pavé huggie in the second piercing — let the two-tone lattice be the hero, with the single-metal huggie as support. Complete the look with a two-tone ear cuff on the upper cartilage for a fully mixed-metal ear narrative.
Common Questions
Can I really mix gold and silver in one earring?
Absolutely — that is the entire point. The Byzantine Lattice is a sealed, dual-tone plating on a single sterling silver core. The gold and silver segments are applied in alternating zones, so there is no peeling, no rubbing, and no color transfer between metals. This is mixed-metal jewelry engineered to last.
How wide is the band compared to regular huggies?
These are wide-band huggies — the band itself has approximately 2-3x the surface area of a standard thin huggie. This wider canvas makes the quilted lattice pattern fully visible and distinct even from a distance, while the overall diameter (approximately 10mm) remains in the comfortable, close-to-lobe huggie range.
Unlike single-tone hoops that limit your styling...
Unlike single-tone hoops that force you to wear only gold or only silver jewelry — creating a mismatch headache every morning — the Byzantine Lattice Hoops pair effortlessly with everything. Gold chain necklace? Matches. Silver watch? Matches. Mixed-metal ring stack? Matches. You will never stand in front of the mirror second-guessing your metal choices again.

Why the Byzantine Lattice Hoops
- • Two-Tone Architecture — the deliberate contrast between warm gold latticework and cool sterling silver backing creates a hoop that reads as intentional design, not a one-note earring. The gold overlay floats above the silver, with negative space between the two metals that catches light from multiple angles.
- • The Byzantine Lattice Pattern draws from the interlocking-link motif found in ancient Byzantine jewelry — reinterpreted here as an open filigree grid across a wide huggie silhouette. Each intersection of the lattice is individually cast and polished for a seamless, machine-made look achieved through hand-finished technique.
- • Wide Huggie, Light Weight — the open lattice structure means these earrings have the dramatic, presence-commanding silhouette of a wide huggie hoop without the weight. Wearable all day, from morning meetings to evening drinks.
Care Guide
These hoops combine two different metal finishes — gold plating over the lattice and sterling silver for the backing. To preserve both, avoid contact with water, perfumes, and hairspray which can accelerate tarnishing of the silver and wear of the gold plate. Clean gently with a dry microfiber cloth, taking care not to snag the cloth on the open lattice points. Store in the provided ÉLARAMUSE pouch, away from other jewelry that could press against and distort the lattice. The huggie clasp should be opened and closed with gentle, controlled pressure — never forced.
Common Questions
What is the Byzantine style in jewelry?
Byzantine jewelry refers to styles originating from the Byzantine Empire (circa 330–1453 CE), characterized by intricate gold work, interlocking chain patterns, filigree, and the use of openwork metal techniques. The most recognizable Byzantine motif is the interlocking-link chain — a complex weave of connected rings. Our Byzantine Lattice Hoops reinterpret this tradition through an open-grid filigree pattern that echoes the visual density of Byzantine metalwork while remaining modern and lightweight.
Are these hypoallergenic?
The sterling silver backing is hypoallergenic for most wearers (Ag925). The gold-plated lattice is applied over a sterling silver base, meaning there is no nickel or brass in contact with your skin. If you have a known sensitivity to gold plating, we recommend testing the earrings for a short wear period initially.
How wide are these hoops?
These are classified as wide huggie hoops, designed to hug close to the earlobe with a bold presence. The open lattice structure gives the visual width of a statement hoop while keeping the physical weight minimal. Exact measurements are available in the Size & Fit section above.
Can I wear them with other piercings?
Yes. The wide huggie silhouette makes these ideal as the dominant earring in a curated ear stack. Position them in your first (main) piercing and accent with smaller studs or simple hoops in secondary piercings. The two-tone finish (gold + silver) bridges both metal families, allowing you to mix gold and silver earrings in the same ear without clashing.
