We made the hook out of copper too. It kind of looks like a big earring.
The ornament measures about 2 1/2-3" (6.4-7.6cm)long. The copper hook makes it a total length of about 4 1/4 - 4 1/2" (10.8 - 11.5cm).
It measures about 2 1/4 - 2 3/4" (5.8 - 7.1cm) across the widest part.
Your ornament will arrive in a nice gift box, wrapped in colorful tissue paper and tied with a bow ready for gift giving.
It will look great on a Christmas tree or hanging anywhere else special you can think of.
The copper wire used in this pin is in it's natural form and not treated with a lacquer or wax. Copper naturally oxidizes over time and develops a patina. Some people love that look and some prefer to keep it shiny.
Here are some suggestions for how to shine up your copper jewelry using common household supplies like lemon juice or ketchup:

TarnX works well too.
