These handmade brass cross earrings, rhodium plated for a smooth, lasting finish, reinterpret one of Ukrainian culture's most powerful symbols: the oberig, a protective amulet carried for strength and guidance.
The cross motif predates Christianity and symbolizes balance — the meeting of feminine and masculine energies, the four elements, and the four directions. The textured surface highlights the handmade process, a reminder that protection is personal, never identical.
How to wear them: Compact and expressive, perfect as everyday statement studs. Pair with neutral tones or a monochrome outfit to let their texture and symbolism stand out — an easy way to add interest to a simple look without overdoing it.
Details: Brass, rhodium plated · Handmade elements crafted in Kyiv · Subtle symbolic design · Suitable for everyday wear
