Slender blue stone dangle earrings feature copper charms with hand-stamped sunflower. Spring sky blue denim lapis long rice-shaped beads are rustically wired in darkened copper, connecting to the sunflower charm and to the handcrafted ear wires. Simple and eye-catching, these cheerful earrings would make a welcome any occasion gift for your girlfriend, wife, or mother, any woman, really, because who doesn't love sunflowers and blue skies?
I used ~8x18mm denim lapis rice shaped beads. Their color is a lovely mottled medium sky blue with white and grey patches. I made the copper charms from pre-cut discs, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Using a stamp tool I imprinted the copper with the sunflowers, then hammered around the charms to finish and texture the edges. I gave the charms a slight domed shape, so they'd really catch the light and the dangle and move. The charms were antiqued to highlight the embossed flower, then polished to a bright copper shine. (Reverse side has a satin finish). The charms are waxed to extend their bright finish, but they will age and darken over time. Gently polishing with a silver cloth when needed will restore the bright color.
