Copper Big Mamma Moons Hoop Earrings

I absolutely love the autumnal shades of these beautiful moons. They are made from raw copper and I have hammered the surface to give them a gently faceted texture to catch the light as you move.

They are hung on gold plated ear wires

The patina process of copper is completely natural and one of the big draws for people who like its look. However, some people prefer the newer look of copper and this can be restored with the help of products and a little “elbow grease.”

Buffing is a big part of the cleaning process. There are also many commercial products as well as homemade concoctions, including those made with vinegar and lemon juice. You should always start by washing the copper with warm water and gentle soap. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or cloths, as they may scratch the copper.
