The base of these gleaming earrings is a rectangle formed from hefty 20 gauge sheet metal, hammered to appear like a brick or stone base for the vining ivy. Each ivy leaf is textured, hand cut, veined and shaped from silver. Each earring is topped with a hand-shaped 20 gauge silver ear wire.

The copper background is untreated and can be kept polished bright or allowed to develop a natural patina. The silver has been oxidized to highlight texture, then hand polished.

Each earring measures about 3.5 cm from the top of the ear wire to the tip of the lowest ivy leaf and and just over 1 cm at its widest point. Silver is 0.925 sterling. Sterling silver is nickel-free which makes it suitable for most people with metal allergies.
