The deeper story

Made With Purpose

A leverback keeps an earring secure through spring-tensioned mechanics. The hinged gate closes over the wire's terminal end and holds under tension, so the loop through the piercing cannot be pulled free without deliberately pressing the release lever.

Origin Story

Brazil is the origin of most fine citrine in commercial circulation, with Rio Grande do Sul and Minas Gerais as the principal producing states and the reference point for global trade standards. Spain, Bolivia, Madagascar, and the United States contribute to total supply, but Brazilian material defines what the trade considers benchmark citrine.
