Each pair of earrings is hand cut, hammered and gilded. The earrings are copper with 24k gold applied by hand. After applying the gold, I use my torch to create the color patina. The pieces are coated with lacquer to protect both the gold and the patina.
Every pair is unique, so I recommend that you contact me so that I can send you images of the earrings that are currently available.  
The ear wires are high quality gold-filled.
