Hand hammered solid copper Black Swallowtail butterfly wing earrings. Made through chasing and repousse, a traditional silversmithing method that requires hammering in every detail from the front and the backside of solid sheet. These earrings are 3D relief style and strong, with a lot of details. I used a drawing I made of an actual butterfly so I could create an accurate representation of their patterns. Ear wires are solid sterling silver.
Measures approximately 1.75" tall x 1" wide, x 1/4"deep. Comes in a gift ready jewelry box, ships in eco friendly packaging.
Handcrafted in Maine USA.
