Handmade, they have a boho, organic vibe to them. Ear wires in niobium have a copper ball detail and are hypo allergenic. Their coloration complements these earrings perfectly! I made these by starting with a piece of bare copper sheet metal. Cut into circles, that metal was given a ribbed texture and then a gorgeous rich patina in a bluish green color
