Hand hammered teardrop copper earrings with sterling silver bead

An eye catching pair of handmade boho earrings. 

The copper wire is hand shaped to create the desired teardrop shape. The sterling silver round bead is threaded through the wire, which is then hammered by hand to harden and solidify the shape. A texturing hammer is used to create the hammered effect. I then begin the oxidisation process to create the oxidised copper finish. 

The earrings are sealed to ensure they last forever and they’re finally placed on handmade sterling silver ear wires. 

These earrings look great in the light. The patina shows the texture of all the hammering and is really eye catching.
