Rustic Copper Earrings/ Green Aventurine Stones/ Hammered Copper Jewelry/ Niobium Ear Wires/ Sensitive Safe/Elven Soul

🌟This listing is for one pair of handmade rustic copper earrings.
They were created by hammering pure bare copper, soldering a bezel, punching decorative holes, work hardening the pieces in a tumbler, aging the copper with a dark patina, polishing the copper with steel wool to bring back some lighter highlights, and finally setting the stones.

💚 A 10 mm round Green Aventurine stone cabachon is set on each earring.

The ear wires were handmade using 22 guage pure Niobium wire. Niobium is perfect for anyone with metal or piercing sensitivities. It is lead and nickel free. I personally have sensitive ears and I tested out the Niobum Wires on myself with zero issues! In fact they work so well that I forget that I'm wearing them!

☆Please keep in mind that handmade products will never be exact matches , the exact pair you receive may not be pictured but will be very similar.

☆About Copper-
Copper is a hypoallergenic metal, so it is safe to wear. I use pure bare copper in my copper designs so there is never any lead or nickel. Copper does not rust but it does oxidize over time . This means it will darken as time goes by, turning a darker brown, and eventually after a long period of time it can turn green (think about the Statue of Liberty 🗽) Copper jewelry can create a harmless green stain on skin due to oxidation, especially if you sweat a lot. This easily washes off with soap and water and is natural and safe. Green skin is Not a sign of metal allergies. It is extremely rare to have a copper allergy.

Copper was one of the first metals to be used by humans. The first piece of metal jewelry found was a copper pendant.

Copper is used as an alloy in many metals, including brass, bronze, sterling silver, and rose gold.
