Etched copper leaf tendril rectangular earrings

A delicate design of interlinking leafy tendrils feature on the panel of these rectangular drop etched copper earrings. The earrings hang from hammered and scrolled earwires, allowing the panels of the earrings to move freely.

I have recently rediscovered my love of copper etching, using a salt water technique and these rectangular earrings feature a delicate leaf tendril design that I drew myself digitally using vector drawing software and used this to create a design resist/mask for the etching process.  You can read more about the process used for these earrings in my blog.

The copper sheet I've used for the is quite thin, so the earrings will be very light to wear, but this also means that they require a little care as the panels will potentially bend with force applied.  The earrings have been antiqued to enhance the textures of the design and they hang from hammered and scrolled earwires which allows me to create a larger hanging eye to let the earrings move freely in wear.

Size:

The earrings hang 50mm (2") overall from the top of the earwires and they are 16mm (0.6") in width.


Please note that I also have the pair of prototype earrings from this design available for sale, with modest quality issues, but at a reduced price - see the Related Products section below.
