The Thandi Deafmetal® Silver Hoop with Crystal Heart and Safety Chain is a meaningful piece of hearing aid jewelry that combines refined design with everyday functionality. Thandi, meaning “one who loves deeply”, features a small silver hoop earring accented with a hanging heart encrusted with clear crystals, creating a subtle yet expressive look.
This design forms part of the Osotua Collection, inspired by the Maasai concept of osotua—a bond rooted in mutual care, connection, and support. The symbolism behind Thandi reflects giving, compassion, and shared responsibility, expressed through careful craftsmanship and thoughtful materials.
The earring is made using a platinum‑plated brass hoop, paired with a 925 sterling silver heart, chain, and lock, and finished with clear crystals. The 6 cm safety chain provides secure support for everyday wear and is suitable for use with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors. All materials are lead‑, cadmium‑, and nickel‑free, making the piece suitable for ongoing wear.
Please note that Deafmetal Fasteners (used to attach the jewelry to hearing aids, cochlear implants, or BAHA devices) are not included and must be ordered separately.
All Deafmetal® jewelry is sold as a single piece, not in pairs, as many users only wear one hearing device.
