Turquoise Verdigris retailer Earrings

retailer Kingman turquoise and patinated copper. I texture and shape the copper, then grow a patina on the copper for several days with a process that mimics years of natural exposure. When it has reached the level of verdigris that I like, I carefully remove it from the raised areas and delicately buff the areas of exposed copper before applying a jewelry lacquer to maintain it's beauty and color. Lastly the sterling silver wires and connections are added.
These dangle approximately 1.25 inches below the earlobe.
