Description
How are made these green hanging earrings?
These green hanging earrings are carefully crafted by hand using recycled copper. We often repurpose discarded copper from various sources, such as pipes, old antiques, and parts from nautical motors. The spiral-shaped relief and the stone base are created with recycled electrical wire, which is flattened and welded onto the base.
Following this, the piece is cut along the contour of the spiral using a coping saw, and a soldered ring is added to hold the hook. Attention to detail is key as all contours are meticulously filed, preparing the earrings for the next steps of cleaning and polishing. After this, the pieces are ready to apply the oxidation. We get an intense and solid green hue on the earrings by manipulating the metal at high temperatures.
At this stage, the piece is ready for the stone to be set in the middle of the design. Finally, a coating of resin is applied to isolate the oxidation and preserve the patina and shine. These earrings embody simplicity and sustainability, transforming recycled materials into a beautiful and unique accessory.
