Hammered Copper Teardrop Earrings with Dalmatian Jasper — Handmade

Hand-shaped and hammered copper teardrops frame a simple arrangement of natural Dalmatian jasper, faceted black spinel, and reclaimed vintage glass beads. Each copper hoop is individually formed and lightly hammered by hand, creating a subtle texture.

The distinctive spotted pattern of natural Dalmatian jasper is accented by the sparkle of faceted black spinel, while reclaimed vintage glass beads in rich amethyst tones add an unexpected touch of color. Warm copper brings the earthy palette together.

Lightweight enough for everyday wear, these handmade copper earrings combine natural stone, vintage glass, and hand-worked metal in an organic, understated design.

Each pair is made by hand in small batches.

Natural variations in the stones and subtle differences in the hand-shaped copper are part of the character of each pair.
