Earrings are handcut and sanded, for smoothness. This earring is created from 2 vintage tins, hinged together.
Earring wires are antique gold-plated brass, 16mm flat fishhook with open loop, 21 gauge.  Each pair come with silicone clear earring backs. 
Earrings have been treated with a museum grade wax to protect and enhance, called Renaissance.
