Even though the focus of these differently sized drop earrings is directed towards more reserved customers, they offer a variety of options. Some pairs feature a bohemian style with natural elements and intricate textures, evoking a sense of tribal or ethnic authenticity. Others embrace a more reserved casual appearance with fewer contrasts, simple shapes, and cleaner lines, making them perfect for daily wear and informal occasions. Lastly, certain designs embody the very essence and purpose of the brand, which is to express postmodernism by combining discarded materials and their contrasts, conveying recycling, closure, and renewal, thereby becoming a representation of avant-garde expression.

Blue patina on copper

The patina naturally generated on the copper gives each pair of drop earrings a unique character. However, Ixchel, the name of this brand, goes beyond that by employing additional techniques like reactive treatments on copper and bronze, known as “fire patinas,” to achieve a range of copper tones within the same piece, adding rustic and sophisticated details.

Ixchel often utilizes the turquoise blue patina effect, which occurs due to the inherent nature of the metal. As an interesting fact, did you know that the turquoise stone appears blue because it contains copper and turns greenish when combined with iron?
