Chalk turquoise and oxed copper spiral wrapped earrings - made to order
£19.00
Product Code: 21268f - made to order
Gunmetal copper oxidised earrings with large spiral wrapped chalk turquoise beads on a hammered paddle headpin.
Each earring is made from a single piece of wire which has been hammered and shaped into a paddle shaped bottom component and then spiralled around the bead to terminate in a wrap around the polished paddle. This pair are the same design as many others in the shop, but using a heavier gauge of wire due to the larger size of the beads used.
The earrings are entirely hand crafted and drop 43mm (1.7") overall from the top of the straight drop earwires and are 15mm (0.6") at their widest. They have been fully oxidised to a deep gunmetal finish and all cut ends have been filed smooth for your comfort. If you would prefer an antiqued finish, they can be polished to reveal more of the copper for you upon request.
Chalk turquoise?
The beads are stablilised natural chalk turquoise, which I understand to be a composite bead made from the natural chalks recovered during turquoise mining, pressed together within a resin base and dyed.
Please note that these earrings are not currently available from stock, but would be made to order for you, so please allow me a few additional days to custom make a pair especially for you.
