Aquamarine Ear Climber Studs

Natural gemsones and copper.

Dimensions are: 22mm long, and a 5mm gap for the earlobe. The gemstones are 3-5mm.

Copper is a natural antibacterial agent, and the wearing of copper jewellery is considered to have a therapeutic effect on the human body.

The gemstones we use are raw and unpolished, so they might have some” imperfections”. (In our opinion it adds to the beauty and individuality of each piece!) 

Jewellery pieces are created by a process called copper electroforming, which allows for the deposition of copper electrolytes over several hours in a copper/acid solution. This results in unique and unpredictable textures, as the entire process is organic.

Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.

Natural gemstones and copper

The 5 gemstones per earring, ranges from 3-4mm. They are raw and unpolished, so you might notice a few “imperfections”—but we believe these only add to the beauty and individuality of each creation!

They are 22mm long and have a 5mm gap for the earlobe.  Simply thread the stud part through the ear, position in place, and give a gentle squeeze to secure.

Each jewellery piece is crafted using copper electroforming, a process where copper is deposited over several hours in a copper-acid solution. This organic process results in wonderfully unique and unpredictable textures.

Since the earring is made of solid copper, it’s hypoallergenic. Copper allergies are extremely rare, making these earrings a safe and stylish choice for most people.

While copper can sometimes cause the skin to turn green due to a reaction with certain skin types, this isn’t harmful and can easily be prevented with a coat of clear nail polish
