The Scandinavian name Erika means “eternal ruler and forever strong”. For Bird of Virtue, the concentric rings of this design, evoke images of a warrior's shield – something to protect and remind us of our own strength.
Each piece is made in Bird of Virtue's sunny California studio and meticulously hand fabricated by the artist's two hands. The center of each piece features a gold-fill metal circular hoop that's been hammered flat, surrounded by hand painted metallic rings. The acrylic is then hand shaped with a variety of jewelers tools, hand sanded and buffed to a matte/brushed finish.
Measures 1 3/4" T x 7/8" W. Handformed earwires.
