Lightweight earrings of Ginkgo leaves and Black Obsidian teardrop stones. Earrings have been electroformed and are copper metal.
Electroforming is a chemical process in which copper metal is deposited and plated onto another material. It is a fickle and tedious process that takes quite some time but results in one of a kind pieces. It encases organic materials in metal so they are sturdy and last forever! A patina is then put on the copper to give it a darker antique look.
All pieces are sealed to prevent oxidation. Oxidation is a normal occurrence in which copper turns green. Should this happen, you can lightly buff it off with a soft cloth.
Do not wear jewelry in the shower or pool, try to keep dry and store in a safe place when not wearing.
