These handmade earrings are three long hammered copper circle dangles featuring gold twisted bugle beads accented with silver metal beads. The ear wires are also made by hand from copper wire. These earring create a statement with eye catching combination of bright copper, gold, and silver.

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.
