Beautiful vintage “mirror back” metal buttons with leaves and floral design were gently flattened and shaped into earring components. Mirror Back buttons have a raised design with a sheet of shiny metal under them to catch the light. I painted the background with a little metallic copper color to blend with the handmade copper curved bar at the top and also to blend with the gentle colors of the fresh water pearls . The larger pearl is a bronzy coppery color and the smaller is a peachy coppery color.
The handmade French hook ear wires are made with 20 gauge gold filled wire. They have been hardened in a tumbler and the little loops holding the earrings are soldered closed.
The total drop length is 1 ¾ inches.
The diameter at the widest point is the copper bar at 1 1/4”.
The button diameter is 3/4”.
A little wire wrapping connects the copper bar to the buttons .
These earrings have a rich, soft, and elegant bronze and copper color scheme with lots of textural interest. They also have an Antique Asian style.
Thank you for your kind interest !
