Our hammered brass earrings are made from solid jewelers brass sheet metal and connected with gold colored French wire earrings. They have been hammered and polished for texture, making them dance and shimmer in the light. Click through our photos to see the different hues you can get as they bounce in the light. Note, while shiny, these do not have a mirror finish. The circles are roughly 1.25" in diameter, with a 3/4" cutout. The entire earring is roughly 2.5" long. Each disc is handcrafted, so slight variations may occur. The fit on the model may not be the exact fit on you, as facial structures and sizes vary by person. Jewelers brass is an alloy made of 85% copper and 15% zinc. Bronze consists of 85% copper and 15% tin. Our copper is 99.9% pure solid wire. NOTE: Each piece is in its natural state. It’s not coated with anything to prevent tarnish. Oils, lotions, moisture, etc. will accelerate the tarnish, so its recommended that you use a jewelry cloth for cleaning after wearing your jewelry.
