$26.00

Our asymmetric Hugs & Kisses Studs are sure to bring a smile. Fun and stackable, they are perfect to wear alone or alongside another earring. The handmade earrings are brass and polished to shine with Sterling Silver posts. Made in our India and Mexico Sanctuaries, this dainty duo is handcrafted with love and will be the perfect pair to wear everyday or to gift and show your love to a friend or family member.

These ethically handmade earrings support young women escaping human trafficking in India, Uganda, Mexico, and the Philippines. Each artisan receives fair wages, education, health care and community through our non-profit, International Sanctuary.

Included with your purchase of the brass Hugs & Kisses Earrings will be a polishing cloth and instructions on how to keep your jewelry clean, dry, and polished. We love working with brass because it can be polished to shine–due to the nature of brass being just itself. Brass, when polished, can be a beautiful replacement for 14k gold jewelry.

Sustainably handcrafted by young women escaping human trafficking

100% of proceeds go to our non-profit, International Sanctuary, to provide each artisan with fair wages, education & holistic care

PURPOSE Jewelry Care Guide:

Important Jewelry Care Note: Polishing your gold or silver plated jewelry will remove the plating from the piece. Only use a polishing cloth for your pieces that are 100% brass and are not plated.

How to care for plated jewelry

Plated jewelry is identical to a piece that would be entirely made up of a precious metal but does require more care to allow for the piece to not lose its plating.

Apply perfume, hairspray or deodorant before wearing your jewelry as certain chemicals may damage the finish.
Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, doing household chores or using abrasive cleaners.
If your jewelry requires further cleaning, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and pat dry.
Make sure your jewelry is completely dry before storing.
To avoid black markings on your skin or the jewelry, be sure to regularly clean.
