copper square post earrings
I start with a heavy sheet of solid copper and cut out the little squares. Then I hand etch each one before I dap them into a gentle curve. Argentium silver posts are soldered on back and finished off with Argentium silver butterflies.
Earrings are 1.0 cm long by 1.0 cm wide. They weigh 1.8 grams.
The shiny Copper is not coated and will naturally tarnish – if tarnish is not desired you can use a polishing cloth or fresh lime to return copper to bright and shiny. Antique Copper is permanently antiqued and will not require cleaning. Copper with a patina is coated to preserve the patina and should not be cleaned.
All of our Copper pieces start with solid copper sheet or wire. Copper is a pure metal – 100% copper. No alloys means solid copper is always nickel free and is perfect for people with metal allergies. Shiny or antique – copper is always beautiful.
