Totally handcrafted from copper sheet these textured earrings have a pointed leaf shape.  I added 4mm olive green Czech Druk beads vertically along the pointed leaf giving them a lovely different look.  These earrings are hung on gold filled ear wires that have a matching olive green Druk bead on them.  I love the look of these earrings and have had compliments from friends who have viewed them.  They are eye-catching and will definitely be noticed.  All Artisan Jewelry is one-of-a-kind handcrafted by JoAnn Williams in the Kaminski Jewelry Designs studio. The pictured piece is the item you will receive. All pieces come with a lovely gift box.

Keeping copper clean and dry, removing any oil or perspiration helps prevent oxidation. Although it can tarnish over time, copper resists tarnish better than many other jewelry metals (including sterling which turns black). When it does oxidize it takes on a soft brown, antiqued color as it darkens, a much sought after "vintage" look in jewelry. The tarnish on copper can be easily removed if you prefer a bright look.  If you do prefer the bright look, keep your copper piece in an air tight bag or jewelry box to prevent tarnish when not wearing.  In addition, Copper jewelry is often considered to have healing properties.

CZECH GLASS BEADS are known over the world for exemplary craftsmanship, vivid color and bead-to-bead consistency. From fire-polished faceted shapes to smooth round druks and more. Glass making in the Czech Republic is an age old cottage industry. These glass beads are still made in small quantities by hand.
