Description
Created with a selection of faceted glass and round porcelain sunflower beads, these beautiful earrings were assembled with a little craft copper wire, and set on antiqued copper ear hooks. Measures 4.5cm.
Choice of ear wires
My standard ear hooks are silver plated. Some people have sensitivities to certain metals, so I do offer alternatives in my shop. You can purchase a pair of stainless steel or sterling silver ear wires along with your earrings and I will fit them for you before shipping. I will also be listing the iron clip on finding for those with non-pierced ears. Simply search ‘ear wire alterations Tanmade With Love’ and make your selection.
Why Copper?
Sustainable fashion
Besides its natural beauty and ability to oxidise and transform, 100% of copper can be recycled without any loss of its original mined quality. Over 80% of the copper mined since it was discovered thousands of years ago is still in use today.
Those who happen to be deficient in copper may benefit from wearing it in jewellery form, such as necklaces, rings and bracelets. It is a good way of taking in the small amount of the mineral needed, without overwhelming the body. The healing properties of copper has been reported by some to relieve the symptoms of arthritis and circulation problems.
In the UK, copper is traditionally associated with the ninth year of marriage (7th in the USA), its beauty and malleability symbolising the way a married couple can bend to accommodate each other after nine long years.
