Floating Pink Crystal Vial Earrings with Sterling Silver Fish Hooks
Tiny glass vials are filled carefully with iridescent glass crystals, pink glass crystals, and various sized copper microbeads. They are suspended in a proprietary liquid solution, sealed securely with epoxy, and electroformed in pure copper. Hung on .925 Sterling Silver fish hook style earrings. Hand darkened in Liver of Sulfur, with the high points hand polished to reveal the natural metal colors beneath. These earrings are cleaned but sterile, and are for wear only through fully healed, standard earlobe piercings.
These are hand-filled vials with an assortment of glass gems, and while they are a roughly matched pair, they are not identical, but each have unique characteristics. The patina on the copper and sterling silver will continue to evolve over time.
They measure about 2 1/4" long from top of the earring to the tip of the point, the drops are 1 3/4" long and a little over 2/8" wide.

ELECTRO MAGIC:
I create jewelry and curiosities by "growing" copper onto crystals and other organics using an alchemical hybrid process: Electroforming. In my cauldron of neon blue electrolyte solution, I brood over, coax, and observe my creations as they begin to take shape. The process takes twelve hours, up to three days, with each piece forming bumps, nodules, lines, and deep grooves along the way. Some of my pieces are darkened with a Liver of Sulfur solution and polished with oil; others are left shiny and bare. All of my pieces are left unsealed, which allows them to continue to age and oxidize, giving you a living, breathing adornment that is truly dynamic and ever-changing.
CARE FOR YOUR PIECE:
Please handle your handmade jewelry with care; avoid dropping it or inflicting heavy trauma or stress. While copper is sturdy enough for daily wear, it is a softer metal and can be misshapen under stress. Crystals and gemstones, especially in raw form, also need to be treated kindly. Avoid submersion in water and direct exposure to lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaners. These can permanently discolor some stones or tarnish the copper. To clean your jewelry, simply buff gently with a soft cloth to remove perspiration and oils. Some people with certain chemistry experience temporary discoloration of the skin when wearing copper jewelry, especially on the fingers and the back of the neck. This is the "Green Ghost" of oxidation and can be washed off the skin with soap and warm water, if you desire.
