Handmade copper Viking wire knitted and lapis lazuli stone earrings.
These handmade earrings combine ancient craftsmanship with a modern twist to create a design that is both elegant and slightly wild bohemian in style. Slowly hand woven using traditional Old Norse techniques and tools, the base of each earring is delicately knitted from *Beadsmith branded non tarnish antique copper wire in the trichinopoly style, expertly shaped into graceful circles to create the base of each earring design.
At the heart of the wire knitted circles I have hand wired two natural lapis lazuli stone pebble beads, creating a striking contrast to the rich warm copper. Handmade Greek blue glass bead drops hang at the bottom of the design to add extra texture, colour and movement to these limited release earrings.
The handmade extra long ear wires with the same blue glass beads complete these earrings for a seamless, polished finish. If you would prefer stainless steel (ready made) or handmade Sterling silver ear hooks please choose this option before completing your purchase.
Every copper wire component is meticulously handmade by me, ensuring unique artistry in this one of a kind pair.
A perfect blend of historical and modern luxury, these earrings are a statement piece for the modern woman who prefers individuality, authenticity and freedom of style ✨

Lapis Lazuli is an intensely rich, deep-blue metamorphic stone loved for its striking colour. It is made up of a unique combination of lazurite giving its intense blue colour, calcite (the white marbling) and pyrite (the gold flecks). Historically it is known as a stone of wisdom, truth and royalty. In crystal healing it is used to deepen spiritual awareness, unlock inner wisdom and strengthen physical abilities.
*Beadsmith brand antique copper wire is a high quality wire which has a 99.9% copper core that has a non tarnish protective coating bonded to it which means it will not patina (darken over time) like raw copper and therefore requires less maintenance to maintain it's shine and rich colour.

Copper has been cherished for centuries - from the Aztecs and Egyptians who believed in its healing powers, to today's wearers who appreciate its natural beauty and energy. Many believe copper supports mineral absorption, encourages healthy blood flow, eases arthritis pain and promotes balance, confidence and positive change.
As long as you don't have metal allergies, copper jewellery is generally safe and comfortable to wear. Over time, your skin's natural oils, moisture and the environment may cause it to develop a darker patina - a natural process that many find beautiful. With just a little care, you can keep your copper pieces looking radiant. Follow the care instructions included with your jewellery and your copper jewellery will remain a timeless treasure, carrying both beauty and energy through the years.
