Copper Blooms
|

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comprised solely of raw, natural copper and sterling silver. Handcut flowers are filed, textured, hammered and then soldered to heatformed sterling hooks, tumbled for strength, polished and finally buffed with micro-crystalline paste wax to preserve the finish. (This will not, however, last very long. It will just retard the oxidization process for a little while.) All earwire ends are filed smooth to prevent irritation. Lightweight, comfortable enough to wear daily, and perfect for spring and summer! Look for an enamelled version soon, and perhaps something else incorporating my "blooms"...completely new to the shop!
Also available in silver or yellow brass! You can find these listings the hook earrings section of this shop. Gold and red brass available upon request. Just contact me for price and a private listing.
Measures approx. 1/2" (1.27 cm) from the top of the hook. Each piece will vary slightly.
Since these are made to order, please allow at most 2 weeks or so before shipment, depending upon the schedule. Orders are filled in the order received. If you're in a rush, let me know and I will see what I can do.
*PLEASE NOTE that I only use lead free & cadmium free silver solder in my soldered pieces, and a natural non-toxic "pickle" to clean the metal after using the torch. All of my raw metals (wire, sheet, etc.) are recycled/reclaimed metal. When oxidizing, I also use liver of sulfur. No harsh chemicals.*
Thanks for looking!
