These handmade copper earrings are medium-large spiral hoops with wire wrapped blue crystal glass beads. The spiral hoops are a little over one-inch diameter, formed and hammered by hand to strengthen and flatten the ends. Then blue crystal glass beads are carefully woven between the spiral curves. The ear wire is also handmade out of copper wire. This is an artistic, versatile and eye catching design suitable for any occasion including casual wear, business attire, or a night out. Your perfect every-day pair of earrings. Hoops are ~1 1/8” diameter with a drop length ~1 5/8" from the piercing The item shipped is an almost imperceptibly similar duplicate to the one pictured (actually 2 different pairs are pictured, can you tell the difference), ready to ship in 1-2 business days, actual shipping time to most US cities is 2-5 days. Gift box: All jewelry items come in a handmade gift box made from color coordinating cardstock and twine bow. An example gift box is pictured. Gift note option: If you would like to mail directly to the recipient as a gift, I can include a small card with short handwritten note tucked under the bow and remove any price information from the packing slip. Send me a message within 1 hour of purchase to request this option and specify what you want the note to say. For example, "Happy Birthday ------- from --------" or "Merry Christmas! To: -------- From: ---------". Copper - I use natural 100% copper wire to create copper jewelry items. It is not treated with a lacquer or wax. Copper naturally oxidizes over time and develops a patina. Some people love that look and some prefer to keep it shiny. Slow the oxidization process by wiping your copper jewelry with a soft clean cloth before and after each use to keep it clean. You can easily clean oxidized copper jewelry and return it to bright and shiny by soaking it in a mixture of lemon juice and salt for 30-60 seconds, rinse with water, and dry. Try it with a penny.
