Crafted in 18k gold vermeil, the Hope Braided Hoops bring a modern twist to a timeless design. Featuring an intricate twisted rope pattern, these hoops offer a dimensional, rope-like appearance that catches the eye from every angle. A closer look reveals a signature Refineri touch—a delicate olive branch motif woven into the tip of each hoop. Perfectly sized at 16mm, they strike the ideal balance between making a statement and staying subtle, making them versatile enough for everyday wear or special occasions. The Story The word Tikvah in Hebrew means both rope and hope. This collection is inspired by the first occurrence of tikvah in the Bible, in the book of Joshua. In the story of Rahab, a scarlet rope tied in her window became a symbol of protection and hope for her family, as she trusted in the promise of God (Joshua 2:17-21). In this same way, the Tikvah Collection serves as a reminder that hope is not just an abstract idea – it is where we find our rest. The rope and red gemstones in this collection reflect the powerful truth of the eternal hope we have in the blood of Jesus. May this jewelry serve as a daily reminder that you are protected and held under the shadow of the Almighty. Wear it with confidence, knowing that your hope is secure in Him. Materials & Specs 18 Gold Vermeil 16mm Length Product Care To preserve the quality and shine of your jewelry, we recommend removing jewelry when applying perfumes or cosmetics, bathing, swimming, or engaging in exercise. To clean your jewelry use a soft cloth to gently clean and polish your pieces. Remember to store them in a cool, dry place like your Refineri cotton pouch or in a lined box. Gemstones are fragile and gold is a naturally soft metal, handling them with care will ensure they preserve their quality and last for years to come.
