Silver Mercury U.S. dime and older copper penny coins were used for these handmade earrings. I I flattened all four coins to create the oval shape and hammered the pennies to the texture seen in the pictures. If you look closely you might see traces of the original images on the pennies. I really liked the look of the mixed metals and the earthy feel of the pieces. Each piece was curved to add dimension.
A perfect accessory for the earthy, eco-friendly minded person.
I cleaned, polished, flattened, hammered, and drilled holes in both coins. They were curved to add dimension and interest. The coins hang from two copper rings suspended 1 3/4 inches (44mm) from copper earwires. The largest coin (penny) has a width of approx. 7/8 inch (22mm).
These earrings are made-to-order, so you will not receive the exact earrings in the picture, but earrings made like them. You can expect slight differences due to the handmade crafting of each individual piece.
The earrings are two coins, so not considered lightweight, but are easy to wear. They will hit each other making a small clinking noise when you move. I made a pair for myself and enjoy wearing them.
