Description
Striking vintage statement earrings crafted in hand-hammered copper with brass edging, designed in an organic, sculptural form inspired by natural shapes. The softly contoured, asymmetrical silhouettes and visible hammer marks give each earring a one-of-a-kind feel, emphasizing the artistry behind their construction.
The warm copper body contrasts beautifully with the golden brass border, creating depth, texture, and an earthy elegance characteristic of late 1970s–1980s studio jewelry. These earrings reflect the brutalist and organic modernist movement, where jewelry was created as wearable sculpture rather than ornament alone.
Bold yet grounded, these earrings are designed to anchor a look—effortlessly pairing with linen, leather, knits, or minimalist silhouettes.
