Karnataka Black and Gold Hoops
Tax included.
Bold in contrast and rich in symbolism, the Karnataka Hoop Earrings bring together two distinct tones that beautifully complement one another. The oxidised sterling silver hoops carry a deep, dark finish that feels raw and powerful, while the bead, sculpted in warm golden brass with intricate carvings, glows with radiance and detail.
The composition celebrates duality, light against dark, warmth against depth, creating a dynamic balance that feels both tribal and contemporary. The hammered silver hoops provide texture and strength, secured with a hinged clicker for easy daily wear, while the brass bead channels cultural richness and intricate artistry.
Wear the hoops alone for a minimal, everyday look, thread the bead onto a chain as a striking necklace pendant, or combine the two for a statement piece that speaks of heritage, contrast, and individuality. This versatile design ensures you can shift from subtle to bold with ease, carrying both tradition and modern expression in a single piece.
As part of the Karnataka Collection, these earrings embody the spirit of ancestral design reimagined for today, powerful, symbolic, and unapologetically distinct.

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.
