A Loki favourite, this piece is both a statement and so lightweight that it is wearable everyday. An orbit of armour for the ear, bearing the energy of a scorpion or spider mother. Her orbit is helicoidal – both cyclical and evolutionary she pierces the membrane of the mundane.
To put this piece on, slip the opening of the earcuff over the top of your ear where it is thinnest. Slide the cuff down to sit in the conch as pictured. No piercing needed.
An heirloom in the making.

Often when companies manufacture their products in overseas factories, there is little to no transparency and oversight – leading to labour abuses, environmental pollution and compromised quality.
Although its more expensive, making Loki pieces in Australia ensures labour & environmental protections, and a high quality of life for every artisan that contributed to the piece.
If you trace the origin of precious metals extracted on an industrial scale, you find a wake of destruction. For example, to mine one ounce of gold, you need to process 2.8 tonnes of ore, use and contaminate ~2,286 litres of water, and generate 800kg of CO2.
With such extensive extraction, and all the damage that comes with industrial mining, it is time to rethink how we source the materials we use. Precious metals like silver and gold are incredible candidates for circularity. They are considered 'infinitely recyclable' because their chemical and physical properties do not degrade during the recycling process. With so much metal already available above-ground, it makes sense to recycle what we have and avoid newly mined metals.
