Copper and Sterling Silver

Description: Lynda's created these enticing earrings with copper wire and sterling silver accents.


This is one of a series of earrings in this style, using the same copper and sterling pendant...but with different beads and stones as danglies.

After forging the thick copper wire and adding the sterling swirls, they are given a liver of sulphur bath to oxidize them.

A good scrubbing with OOOO steel wool and polishing cloth gives it a beautiful look and shine.

These have peacock fresh water pearls as accents.
