The use and importance of jewelry in primitive tribes is used as a tool for both beautification/decoration and dates back thousands of years. I just love to create and decorate myself with this style of jewelry as it has such a rich, mysterious, and magical energy to it. These bold and exotic hoop earrings remind me of the beautiful women in African tribes. With their vibrant turquoise patina eyes won't be able to turn away from you. Have fun with these enchanting adornments.

The moon-shaped plates and links are copper the ear wire and spirals are sterling silver. I applied many layers of green patina on the copper to reach this vibrant turquoise. It has a finish sealing to protect the patina. The backside of the earrings shows a darkened copper.
The ear wire is 18 gauge sterling silver just a bit thicker than standard 20 gauge and are for those accustomed to wearing earrings. If you have very small ear holes I am happy to exchange them for the finer 20 gauge wire. I do now offer also 18 or 20 gauge hypoallergenic titanium ear wire in a mat gray hue.
Earring Length: 2 ½”
Earring Width: 1 7/8”
The weight of one earring is 8.5 grams, a Quarter Dollar and one Penny weighs 8.7gram.
Turquoise is the color of the world at the vernal equinox as the violets and blues of winter are melted away into the greens of spring. It is the color of the natural birthstones of those born in the beginning of spring, the period of new birth. It is the color or the world at a moment of discovery. It is a blending of the cold, winter blue ray of trust with the approaching warm green ray of growth. It is the color of the earth as the new growth and life emerges. It is a fresh color, a welcome color, and a color that moves us to serenity, knowing that the cycle of life is beginning again. Turquoise is the color of the balance pint between the cycles of life. As the old gives way to the new, as winter gives way to spring, and as death gives way to new life, turquoise balances the dark, the cold, and the old, with the light, the warm, and the new. (Henry M. Mason)
Copper worn as jewelry is a well-known remedy for reducing the aches and pains of rheumatism and arthritis. Copper also provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies. It is said to be a “bestower” of “good”, bringing benefit to the user.

I will respect the method and measures you see on the photo and I will make it with the same care and dedication. For this reason, any difference with the photo is a happy touch of the handmade job.
