Embodying the spirit of the hunt, these copper dangle earrings feature spirit bears and a round shield stamped with arrows and a setting sun theme to represent the start of the hunt. The copper shield measures about an inch in diameter, was cut from thick 17 gauge copper, and hammered on a dapping block to produce the domed shape. Stamped with stars to signify the hunt under night skies, the spirit bears are my own unique design in 17 gauge copper and measure 1.15 inches long. Additional options include bronze, brass, aluminum, nickel silver, gold or sterling silver, and of course these earrings can be personalized with letters, text, words, or custom designs. The earrings hang from hypoallergenic stainless steel and were finished with a wire brush to bring out a warm copper glow, however various patinas, heat treatments, and finishes are available.
