Earrings are handcut and sanded, for smoothness. They were created from 2 tins, one vintage and one contemporary.  They are joined together by a lovely copper rivet.
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.
Some of the tins are vintage and have been lovingly used over decades. Therefore, there may be fine scratches or imperfections.
