These copper earrings have been hand sanded, tumbled for days and then “painted” with heat to bring out tones of gold, orange, blue and purples. Earrings measure approximately 3-1/4” in length and a 1/4” wide. Hand-formed ar wires are an anti-tarnish Sterling Silver.

Copper is left untreated, so they will develop a natural patina which will continue to alter the colors over time. Some will become more pastel, some get darker, some move into the gold and pink tones.
