FREE: Copper Curlicues

The listing, Copper Curlicues has ended.

The little curl "charms" are shaped using just my hands and round nosed pliers. They are smaller and more delicate than what can be achieved using your average wire jig device. When you tire of these earrings, you can recycle the wire, because copper is a very useful metal. You'll have to excuse Sue, she just loves the camera!

My ear wires are bent by hand (allowing me to add extra beads to the hook for an extra finished overall look), so there will be variations in the curve. Due to the pliable nature of copper, you can adjust the curve to suit your own ears. Another property of copper is that it oxidizes to greenish-blue hue, so yes, it will probably leave a greenish tinge on your skin if you get them all sweaty. This does NOT mean that it is an inferior quality of metal!

Pure copper is what I use to make copper jewelry, and having an allergy to pure copper is very uncommon. Look it up yourself if you have doubts! This is completely nickel-free and will not irritate those sensitive to nickel, unless you also have an allergy to copper.

If you don't bother to read what I type, I reserve the right to call you a simpleton, and that's that. Leave relevant comments in a coherent manner, and they will be replied to, unless you wait for the last few hours of the auction. I have better things to do than hover around my computer like an intoxicated hummingbird (such as fashioning more wonderful things).

TL;DR

Respect; earn it.
