Sun Mask Small Hoop Earrings
Channel the energy of the sun with our enchanting Sun Mask Hoop Earrings. Crafted with a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary flair, these handmade earrings are a staple addition to any jewellery collection.
This AARVEN original design has deep cultural inspiration. African Sun Masks, also known as ‘Bwa Sun Masks’, are traditional masks used in dances and rituals. The mask is said to encourage a good harvest, and give thanks for a successful harvest. The zigzag motif signifies the path of the ancestors, and the sun’s nourishing rays.
Cast from high-quality recycled brass, they are an excellent example of Kenyan craftsmanship. Ethically made by husband and wife team, Anton and Benta, in Kenya. The gold tone finish gives them a warm, smooth shine.
Pair our symbolic Sun Mask Earrings with our matching Sun Mask Necklace or Ring to complete the look.

CARE
The best way to polish your brass jewellery is to use a brass polish, we suggest Brasso (Always follow the instructions on the bottle). If you don’t have any brass polish to hand or prefer a more natural alternative, cover half a lemon in salt and rub over your jewellery until you see the tarnish starts to lift, rinse well and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Silver needs more gentle polishing with baking soda and a damp cloth.
