I made these fun metalwork leaf earrings from 100+ year old copper salvaged from the roof of the old Tacoma Town Hall, built in the early 1890s. To avoid destroying the wonderful original verdigris patina I have riveted sterling silver settings in place to hold 4 millimeter cubic zirconias, like dazzling drops of dew. The rings are sterling silver as are the hand made ear wires that I have embellished with 6mm faceted crystal rondelle beads. These have a definite left and right. Drop length just under 2-1/4 inches. Signed. Nice and light, too! $64 shipped in the USA. #handmade #metalwork #metalworking #copper #earrings #hammered #patina #verdigris #fantasticality

These earrings are completely handmade from copper salvaged during the repair of the original roof of the Tacoma Old City Hall, built in 1892-1893 and re-roofed in 2013 or 2014. The verdigris patina is original; hammering it gave it an appearance almost like enameling. The copper has been sealed with Renaissance Wax. The stone beads are aventurine, wire wrapped on copper, and the handmade ear wires are sterling silver. $46 shipped (USA). If you want them, message me with your PayPal email and I will send you an invoice. :-) #copper #verdigris #earrings #handmade #metalwork #metalworking #patina #gemstone #fantasticality
