ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These distinctive buffalo horn earrings feature a striking geometric design where circular gold-plated brass rings embrace half-moon pieces of ethically-sourced water buffalo horn. Each pair is handcrafted using materials from Vietnam and assembled in California, creating a thoughtful bridge between cultures and sustainable craftsmanship.
The buffalo horn comes from a waste byproduct, transformed through a chemical-free process that dates back 400 years. No two pairs are identical, as the natural horn material creates unique patterns and color variations in each piece. The titanium posts are nickel-free, making them gentle for sensitive ears.
These versatile statement earrings transition seamlessly from professional settings to evening occasions. The warm tones of natural horn paired with gold-plated accents complement both casual and refined wardrobes, while supporting sustainable fashion practices that honor traditional Vietnamese craftsmanship.

Born from a tech designer's wish to reconnect with her Vietnamese roots, Hathorway began when founder Jessica Phan traveled to Vietnam in 2015 to visit her extended family. There she found everyday things made of buffalo horn, from chopsticks and spoons to hair combs and jewelry, and fell in love with the material.
Jessica bought a few pieces and reworked them to suit her own style, then began selling her designs on Etsy, making horn earrings and necklaces at night and on weekends while she led the design team at a tech startup in Palo Alto. In February 2018 she left her career in tech to build Hathorway, a chance to reconnect with her Vietnamese culture and follow her childhood dream in fashion.
Today Jessica runs Hathorway from her home office in Redwood City, California. The buffalo horn is sourced in Northern Vietnam, each piece is designed and assembled in California, and Hathorway, a women owned and women run business, donates 10% of its profits to organizations that help women.
