Bee Dragonfly Dangly Stick Earrings: Delicate hammered copper bar earrings. These earrings are completely handmade and will vary slightly from piece to piece.
Made of pure copper. Earrings nickel free, hooks made of hypoallergenic niobium. Earring stoppers included. Comes with copper care directions.
Copper will gain character and oxidize over time due to contact with dirt, oils and moisture. Tarnish can easily be removed by dipping the piece in soy sauce or ketchup for a minute or so. Afterwards rinse and dry thoroughly.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Smithstine is a one-woman studio creating prairie inspired and custom copper jewelry and accessories.
I realized my passion for working with metal in 2011 when I first began attending community silversmithing classes. Since then I've worked hard to teach myself new skills and techniques involved in metal smithing. I value the art of making things by hand, from scratch.
Copper has become my metal of choice because it is soft, shines up beautifully and is not particularly common in jewelry making. My copper designs are mainly prairie related because I appreciate Alberta's diverse features, creatures and landmarks.
I began copper enamelling in 2018 using my Grandma’s copper enamelling kiln from the 70s. It is a beautiful and unique process of melding copper with glass.
