Megahoopsters: Textured Copper Hoop Earrings

Fabulous statement earrings made of hand-textured and curved copper hoops, hung on hand-made long curvy hooks. I love the simple and very rustic texture of these hoops, and since the pattern was transferred onto the metal using a rolling mill, there are subtle ripple irregularities in the surface from the process adding to their rustic feel. The light antiquing helps bring out the texture, and is done by oxidizing the metal with liver of sulfur. The earwires are also handmade and hardened to hold their shape better. Earrings are about medium weight, much lighter than conveyed by their size, the hoops measuring about 1 3/4" (43 mm) in diameter.

Includes: solid copper linen-textured curved hoops, hand-made hook earwires.
