Copper Earrings – A Fashion-Forward Accessory
Handcrafted copper earrings add instant sophistication and posh to any outfit. Many styles are becoming fashion-forward accessories as more and more jewelry designers incorporate copper into their collections.

Its exotic luster and warm hue makes it popular among jewelry lovers everywhere.

The Endless Variety of Copper Earrings
Unlike many stronger metals, copper is highly versatile and can be shaped and twisted into limitless forms to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Each piece of copper jewelry is truly unique. Copper also has the ability to adapt to various substances in which it comes in contact without negative effects on the metal. When combined with ammonia, acid, or other chemicals, copper can actually produce attractive shades of color.
Copper earrings can give any wardrobe selection just the right look. When paired with brilliant crystals or beads, copper earrings can give an outfit extra shine without looking too over-dressed. Copper earrings can be used to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. Earrings come in a wide range of styles, patterns, and shapes and can be very simple or highly detailed in design.
There are a wide range of styles to choose from if interested in copper earrings. Drop earrings are feminine and regal, dangling from the ears in various shapes and sizes.

Hoop earrings offer a retro trend and are available in a wide array of thicknesses and sizes. Big, thin copper hoops exude a younger generation trend, while small, more reserved hoops make for a more elegant statement. Hoop earrings can be made from all copper or set with diamonds. The most common types of hoop earrings include all-metal hoops, classic diamond hoops, and huggies which hug the earlobe and can be set with diamonds or gemstones.
Maintaining Your Copper Earrings
It’s simple to maintain handcrafted copper earrings. Unlike most types of jewelry that tend to tarnish with age or poor care, copper accessories only beautify with time. If you see that your copper earrings are starting to fade or tarnish, simply clean them with a mixture of salt, lemon or lime juice and water to restore it back to its original state. You may decide that you like the new hue of your aged copper earrings and keep them as is.
