copper with patina – oval earring
These earrings have an oval cut from solid copper – and then some texture embossed in. A centre cut-out is added, then the oval is slightly domed. The patina is painted on and let develop, and then covered with a lacquer for permanence. The patina is a natural process and will develop differently every time – so expect some variations from the photo.
These earrings are 4.7 cm long by 2.2 cm wide. They weigh 3.7 grams.
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.
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.
