Half circles of copper have been heavily hammered, creating deep facets. These half circles have then been riveted—a form of cold connection—to gracefully arcing sterling silver wires. Each rivet has been hand crafted, in sterling silver, one at a time. A very meditative process, fabricating the many tiny parts of a whole. Each rivet head holds tiny hammer marks, evidence of their handmade origins.
Please see the last photos for the whole range of the riveted half circle earrings—in addition to copper, there's sterling silver and brass.
