These earrings are somewhat rustic, but can look quite elegant as well, depending on what you're wearing with them. They begin as bronze disks; I cut the inside a bit above center so the bottom part is wider than the top. They are hammered to give a sun-ray texture. I have slightly antiqued them and then polished to help bring out the texture as well as give the earrings a golden gleam. The ear wires are Niobium; Niobium is considered one of the least allergenic metals.
These earrings will be made to order for you. Please allow up to one week for me to create your earrings and have them ready for shipping. Since they are all made individually, there will be slight variations from the picture, although size and general texture will be the same.
SIZE: The earrings hang about 1 5/8 inches. The hoops are 1 inch in diameter. Each earring weighs about 3 grams.
MATERIALS: Bronze, Niobium
Note: I have similar hoop style earrings in copper and silver:
