Solid, raw brass thistle’s dangle from raw brass chains with sterling silver ear wires. These beautifully detailed thistle earrings are light weight, comfortable to wear, & catch the light in so many beautiful ways. I’ve added a patina to enhance the texture add to the antique look. Be sure to check out my Thistle pin to match! See last image. Each earring weighs .12oz (3.3g) Each earrings is about 2 5/8 inches long including the ear hook & 1 1/16 inches wide. C A R E - I N S T R U C T I O N S Each creation is lovingly hand crafted with meticulous attention to detail, aesthetic, & durability. Please remember to remove your jewelry before bathing/showering, swimming, doing rigorous physical activities, or working with harsh soaps, lotions or any chemicals. Patinas change over time by the wearer so your piece will eventually shine & darken in a pattern specific to you. I do not seal my jewelry with any lacquer or waxes. If you’d like to get the shine back on your metal pieces without using any chemicals, you can gently rub them with a little piece of Extra Fine Steel Wool Grade #0000. Keep in mind, rubbing the black patina areas with the extra fine steel wool will remove the patina & make those parts shiny metal. Do not use steel wool on any stones as it can permanently scratch them. Sterling silver, brass & copper are metals that will tarnish & react to their environment. Proper storage can help prevent this. Keeping your jewelry in an airtight container is best, as the air & humidity can speed up tarnish. Wearing your pieces as much as possible will help keep them tarnish free as your skins natural oils help protect the metals from tarnishing. Extra Fine Steel Wool Grade #0000 also helps to remove tarnish.
