Hand-Hammered Sterling Silver & Copper Heart Earrings
- Low stock - 9 items left
Two metals. One heart. Every hammer mark intentional.
Sterling silver, shaped into a ring and textured by hand. A copper heart, warm against the cool silver, suspended at the center. These aren't hearts stamped out by a machine. Emily forms each one at her bench, hammer and torch, building texture strike by strike. The result is a pair of earrings that catches light differently than anything mass-produced ever could.
The copper will change over time. That's not a flaw. Emily designed these knowing the copper would develop a patina, deepening from bright penny to rich antiqued bronze. She actually prefers the aged look. But if you like yours shiny, a soft polishing cloth brings them right back.
"Silver is strength. Copper is warmth. Put them together and you get something that feels like what love actually is: two different things learning to complement each other. I hammer texture into the silver because I want you to see the work. I want you to know a person made this, not a factory."
The Artistry in the Details
- Hand-hammered texture: Every strike of the hammer leaves its mark. No two pairs have identical texture patterns.
- Sterling silver rings: Solid .925 sterling. Durable enough for everyday wear, beautiful enough for occasions that matter.
- Copper heart accents: Warm-toned copper hearts add romantic contrast. They'll develop character as they age.
- Lightweight and comfortable: Substantial enough to feel like real jewelry, light enough to wear all day.
- Includes velvet pouch: Arrives ready for gifting or safe storage.
Key Elements
- Sterling Silver
- The rings are solid .925 sterling silver, hand-hammered for texture. Sterling is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for strength. It's hypoallergenic for most people and develops a soft patina over time that many prefer to high polish.
- Copper
- The heart accents are pure copper, chosen for its warm tone against the cool silver. Copper naturally oxidizes, shifting from bright to antiqued bronze. This is Emily's preferred aesthetic, though polishing restores the original brightness if you want it.
Made by hand. Worn with heart. The kind of jewelry that means something.
