Posted Hiirodo and Goldleaf Earrings

Hiirodo copper with gold leaf, articulated oxidized components, sterling posts, 4mm pearls. Embossed oxidized sterling Tops.

1 3/4”” X 7/16”  #F44

To create my copper finishes, I use a Japanese patina technique called “Hiirodo” where I heat the finished copper shape until brightly glowing, then plunge it into boiling water which achieves a plum red appearance.
