This is my first finished metal work. I made the earring on the left first and since it turned out pretty large I decided the other one should be of a different size and shape.

Materials: Pure copper, Sterling silver.
Methods: Annealing, hammering, soldering, fire patination, buffing

I like the novelty of the design. Very whimsical and fun. I see this as a very costume type piece. Steam punk type would be my preference.
I also like the burn effect on the metal. It gives the piece a worn feel. The pearl accents also give it some class.
I also like that they are not perfect mimics of each other. That asymmetrical style makes them more appealing to me.
Unfortunately, I see it as such a costume piece that I don't think it would function in casual wear.
Very fun and overall interesting. I'd like to see them matched with something more common to see their versatility.
