Earrings are cut and sanded, for smoothness. These were created from a 1930's Artstyle Chocolate Tin. A brass bezel was added with a small piece of the same tin glued inside. 
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.
Ear wires can be switched out to a hypoallergenic Titanium, or sterling silver, if desired. The added cost is $4.
