Ancient brass earrings with black inlay


Picture yourself at the top of the fortresses tower. Looking out over a vast land. Your halls are covered in beautiful patterns and carvings. Mirroring those patterns is the armour dawned by your guards. These earrings were designed to be reminiscent of the ornamentation that adorned ancient shields. At their centre is a glossy black inlay which offsets the richness of the brasses golden hue giving the earrings a very classy appeal.

These earrings are approximately 2.2 x 1.8 cm(.86 x .71 inches) and are made of brass.

Each metal component, made in our Alberta, Canada, studio, is the product of a rigorous 35-45 step process (around 35 per earring or pendant and between 40 and 45 per ring and cuff link). Starting with plain sheets of metal we design and create our components one at a time. Some of the key steps include preparing the metal and design work, etching the imagery and cutting custom shapes. Shaping is done with a manual hydraulic press (2000 lbs plus per a component) to create stronger, more durable and professionally shaped components. Each piece is finished with a meticulous hand applied coloring process wherein each color is individually applied and often on different days to allow for the lengthy drying process (up to 72 hours). The majority of the other steps revolve around an absurd amount of sanding and cleaning, as well as, adding the finishing touches such as ear hooks, jump rings, soldering etc. Because of this no two items are identical and they have variations between each item. The brass is made from pure copper and zinc and has had a patina added to each component to give it an antiqued appearance. The ear hooks are surgical steel and come with rubber ear nubs.

Each item comes with a care card, authentication card, gift box and item card. The last picture shows what the packaging looks like complete with our in studio made product card. Your item (featured in the first picture) will be featured on one of our custom cards.
