Onyx Stone Small Hoop Earrings | Handmade in El Salvador by 16 Nuditos

Every chip placed by hand. No two pairs exactly alike.

The wire wrapping technique is what makes 16 Nuditos special — it's the same craft they built their brand on, applied to jewelry that carries real intention. The deep black onyx chips catch the light differently depending on how you move, giving these hoops a living, organic quality you won't find in mass-produced jewelry.

Black onyx — known as a stone of protection and strength — is believed to absorb negative energy, ground the wearer, and promote inner stability. Ancient Romans wore it for courage. Warriors carried it for strength. It's a stone with thousands of years of meaning behind it.

Black and gold is the easiest combination in the world:

With all black — monochromatic and effortlessly chic.
With neutrals — cream, white, camel — the black onyx becomes the focal point.
With color — the dark stone grounds any bold outfit beautifully.
Everyday or elevated — the 1" size is versatile enough for both.
Gift-ready — meaningful, handmade, and unlike anything from a chain store

16 Nuditos — which translates to "16 knots" — is a brother-sister jewelry brand based in San Salvador, El Salvador. The name is a nod to where they started: handcrafted knotted bracelets, made with patience and skill. From those early knots grew a full jewelry practice specializing in wire wrapped designs.

Every piece they make carries the same spirit as those first bracelets — made by hand, made with care, and rooted in the craft of two siblings who turned a shared passion into something lasting.
