Verde

Just in time for summer, these luscious, verdant earrings are here to keep you cheerful as a dewy lawn and cool as a crystal brook. Starting with detailed some vintage copper flower stampings I recently uncovered in defunct manufacturing plant, I soldered sterling silver posts onto the backs and developed a rich forest green patina on the copper. The revivified flowers are coated in a thin layer of non-sticky wax to protect the patina and make the whole affair maintenance-free. Earrings are a over half an inch in diameter. Posts and backings are sterling silver.
