These rustic copper earrings feature a mixture of shapes and textures. At the top are hammered rings; hammered rectangles with rounded corners dangle from the bottom. In between are little corrugated copper beads. The copper has been antiqued and polished to bring out the various textures. The wires used are copper, and the ear wires are Niobium, which is considered one of the least allergenic metals.
Please note: all copper that I use is 100% copper. I do use silver solder to join ends together; as the copper ages you may see a fine line of silver where the join is.
SIZE: These earrings hang about 2 3/4 inches. The rings at the top are just over 1/2 inch in diameter. Each earring weighs about 3 grams.
MATERIALS: Copper, Niobium
