Circular dangle earrings with textured silver on top of a copper base. They hang from sterling silver ear wires. Equally rustic and elegant.
These earrings are made from 20 gauge copper that I cut, filed and hammered. I then heated and fused silver onto the copper. As the silver melts it moves in unique and interesting patterns. Before and after fusing the silver, I hammered the earrings giving them added texture. They are then tumbled for strength and shine.
Each individual earring is very slightly different in size and the textured design.
The photo is of one pair and represents essentially what ypurs will look like but each pair varies so the silver on the copper will not be exactly like those in the photo.
They are light, not heavy.
The earrings are 1" in diameter. They hang about 1 5/8" from the top of the ear wire.
