Turquoise & copper dangle earrings - a small verdigris Greek Meandros pendant is suspended from a dyed magnesite stone tube bead in each of these earrings. Additional copper beads accent the stone top and bottom. The metal symbols were cast on the Greek Island of Mykonos. They were coated in copper then treated with a turquoise verdigris patina. Called a Meandros, it is a motif the ancient Greeks used to represent eternity (similar to spirals in Celtic cultures)

I oxidized the copper to darken it, then tumbled and polished the earrings to brighten the highlights while leaving a dark patina in the recesses. These long slender earrings dangle about 2 1/4" including their handcrafted copper ear wires. See my third image for an accurate illustration of scale.

Your order will be carefully packaged in a natural brown kraft gift box tied with a raffia ribbon, ready for gifting.

Here is a necklace that combines well with these earrings: www.etsy.com/listing/1141076622/rustic-bead-necklace-turquoise-verdigris
