These handcrafted earrings feature textured copper rectangle dangles accented with natural African turquoise stones. They have a modern, earthy style that looks good with all wardrobe types. ♦ Although commonly known as African turquoise, this stone is a type of jasper found in Africa with colors similar to turquoise. MEASUREMENTS: Total length: 2-7/8" from copper ear wires & approx. 1/2" at widest point. They're shown with copper wires - if you prefer niobium (hypoallergenic ear wires) chose that option. The total length is slightly shorter with niobium wires. Hand forged out of solid copper sheet; the shapes were textured; oxidized for an antiqued finish then sealed with jeweler's wax to resist tarnishing.
