Charming and unique twisted copper "ribbon" earrings are hand stamped with a western star and moon design. The copper twists are enhanced with a string of baby blue turquoise pebbles hanging within the curlicues. These wonderful handmade earrings are perfect for the turquoise lover, cowgirl chic, woman in your life with whom you watch the stars come out over a western scene.
These copper helical dangle earrings are all about the ornament - a kind of drop within a dangle sculptural piece. I see whirlwinds and dust devils in the winding shape, but you might see river eddies or jet contrails in big western skies.
I used solid copper strip wire, ⅛ inch wide and a Western motif, star, and moon stamps to pattern and texture them. After stamping, the metal is quite hard, so I torch-annealed it so that I’d be able to form these ribbon-like curls. I like how the stamped pattern coils away from you and back again.
Since I wanted these earrings to say “hey, we’re out west”, and nothing says western like turquoise, I chose some tiny, 3-4mm powder blue Mexican turquoise pebbles and stacked them up on copper wire to dangle inside the copper whirlwind. Solid copper ear wires in a simple French hook style complete the set.
