    Care & Material Notes

    • Wood finish: Manzanita is sanded smooth and sealed with a clear protectant to preserve its natural warmth
    • Natural patina development: Copper deepens in tone with wear, creating a rich, organic finish
    • Unsealed copper: Left untreated to retain its handcrafted texture and allow natural aging
    • Easy to brighten: Use a jewelry polishing cloth or copper cleaner to restore a lighter shine
    • Argentium ear wires: Hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant — ideal for sensitive ears
    • Care tips: Avoid water, lotions, and perfumes to slow patina development; store in a dry place when not in use

These handcrafted earrings blend earthy elegance with artisan precision. Made from manzanita wood pruned directly from our home property, each piece is cut with a bandsaw, shaped by hand, and sealed with a clear protectant to preserve its natural warmth. The copper elements are cut from large sheets and hammered for texture, left unsealed to develop a rich patina over time. Finished with handmade Argentium sterling ear wires, these earrings offer hypoallergenic comfort and a grounded, sculptural silhouette. Lightweight and full of movement, they reflect the beauty of natural materials and the care of true craftsmanship — perfect for everyday wear or gifting.
