Turquoise Patina Teardrops

These stunning earrings have been given a patina using ancient and natural techniques.

They are made from brass and hung on hand made sterling silver wires.

The ephemeral nature of the metal and patinas means that over time they oxidise and change. 

This piece has been finished with several coats of lacquer to protect it. 

To prolong its wear do not let the pieces get wet or leave in damp, humid environments.

Raw brass can be gently cleaned with a bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and water paste but this must NOT touch patinated or painted surfaces. 

When storing take care that the pieces do not rub or knock together.
