Black and Gold Karnataka Hoop Hangers
Tax included.
Rich in contrast and full of cultural depth, the Karnataka Hoop Hangers pair the dark, oxidised tone of black silver with the warm glow of a golden brass bead. Inspired by the traditional tribal jewellery of Southern India’s Karnataka region, this design celebrates duality, light and shadow, strength and refinement.
The hoops themselves are seamless rings, available in two finishes: plain for a clean, minimal aesthetic, or hammered for a textured, organic feel. Threaded onto them is the intricately carved Karnataka bead, with its three-dimensional geometric patterns that echo South Indian heritage. Each component can be worn on its own: the sleek black silver hoops for everyday body jewellery styling, or the golden bead threaded onto a chain as a pendant, transforming it into a necklace.
Lightweight and comfortable, these hangers are designed for daily wear while carrying symbolic weight, making them versatile staples in any body jewellery collection. The interplay between black silver and gold creates a striking visual balance that feels both ancient and modern, a true homage to cultural tradition reimagined through contemporary design.

Jewellery with a story
Founded in London in 1998, Tribu was built on one simple idea: jewellery should mean something. Every piece we create is designed to express individuality, not trends - crafted for people who choose their own path and wear it with confidence.
From tribal roots to modern expression
Our early collections helped pioneer tribal-inspired jewellery with a modern edge. Over the years, that influence has evolved into designs shaped by sacred geometry, spirituality, yoga culture and urban gypsy style - blending heritage with contemporary form.
Designed to stand apart
We work with a wide mix of materials, organic woods, stones and shells combined with silver, gold and metals, pushing boundaries while staying true to our roots. Tribu exists to explore what jewellery can be, not what it’s expected to be.
