Hammered Copper Hoop Earring, Gold Filled Ear Wires, Handmade Copper Earrings

I made these copper hoops by hand from solid copper wire that I reduced, twisted, soldered and hammered. Copper is a beautiful metal to work with but has a major limiting factor in that it tarnishes quickly if it gets wet and will leave mark on your skin; ever have a green finger after wearing a copper ring? This is normal for copper and if you prefer to have it uncoated you will need to clean it often and live with the reality that it will leave marks with perspiration or if it gets wet. I prefer to coat the copper so that it keeps the color I desire. Then as a creative work around to problems like some allergies to copper or discoloration at the ear I instead use rose gold filled ear wires rather than copper ones. These are much higher quality and will hold their shape, color and not tarnish like natural copper.  So this set is copper hoops that are coated in resin with rose gold filled ear wires and jump rings. All the beauty of copper without any of the limitations!

The hoops for this set measure about 17mm in diameter. These are light earrings so you'll want to wear the silicone keepers I provide with them.
