The classic with what classics never have: an origin.
The WIÑAY earrings reimagine the hoop with a texture drawn from the ancestral weaving traditions of northern Argentina. WIÑAY means eternal in Quechua — and that's exactly what this piece proposes: a timeless shape with a symbolism that gives it depth. At just 1.8cm in diameter, they're light enough to put on and forget. But the people who see them won't.
Part of the Andean Collection
"I wear the little hoops all the time — the ones with the texture and smooth wire. They're so beautiful! There's a subtle difference depending on which side you wear the texture on, I love playing with that. The size fits me perfectly. So happy."
Is this for you? ↓
These earrings are for you if:
- You want a hoop you can wear every day — one that, when someone notices it, gives you something to say.
- You love the hoop format but want a version with its own character, not the one everyone else has.
- You identify with Argentine identity and design that speaks to the ancestral without dressing up as folklore.
- You value handcraft: a piece that didn't come out of an industrial mold, but from hands that know metal.
Made in our workshop ↓
Every pair of WIÑAY S earrings is made entirely by hand, in solid 925 sterling silver, using traditional jewelry techniques. The texture that runs along the hoop — the one that reproduces the weave of Andean textiles — is achieved through a manual texturing process that makes each piece unique.
No industrial molds. Each hoop goes through the same process of construction, texturing, and hand finishing, which means no two are exactly alike.
Small-batch production. 1-year warranty + after-sales service. See full details here.
