Creation & Processing Time

Every piece is made by hand, just for you. Please allow up to a week after placing your order for your jewelry to be created, carefully finished, and sealed with ProtectaClear (if specified) to help preserve its beauty. You have the option of leaving your copper pieces bare with no sealant.

If your order includes a custom design, additional time may be needed depending on the complexity—but don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated along the way. Make sure to check your spam box for any direct emails from me about your order.

Product Features

All handmade pieces feature either bare copper, .925 sterling silver, or both! I only use semi-precious gemstones and sometimes a Swarovski crystal or two. Made in the USA, shipped directly from Virginia. 

Materials & Care

By your choice, your piece can be been given an added feature of an anti-tarnish coating, but tarnish is bound to happen. The easiest way to keep your piece shiny is to wash it regularly with mild soap, warm water, and towel dry. Even better yet - use a sonic jewelry cleaner. You can keep a polishing cloth on hand for an extra step. You can add on my favorite polishing cloth from Sunshine when adding to cart. 

For protection when not wearing, store in an air tight bag with a moisture absorber. You can’t avoid tarnish with true earth metals, but these few simple steps will ensure shine for as long as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jewelry hypoallergenic?

Yes! All pieces are made from genuine sterling silver or copper, which are nickel-free and safe for sensitive skin.

Will my jewelry tarnish?

Sterling silver may naturally darken over time; copper may develop a warm patina. Both can be polished back to their original shine with a soft cloth.

Are these pieces adjustable?

Many designs are slightly adjustable for comfort, but some styles have a fixed shape—check the product details for specifics.

Are all pieces exactly the same?

Since every item is handmade, slight variations in texture, shape, or color are normal and make your piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Can I wear this in water or while sleeping?

To prolong the life and shine of your jewelry, remove it before swimming, bathing, or sleeping.

How is the jewelry packaged?

Each piece comes in a protective pouch or box, perfect for gifting or safe storage. Let me know if your purchase is a gift

Caring for Your Handmade Jewelry

The colors, the contrast, the shape. Wow.

I've been mesmerized by abalone since I was a kid. There's something almost otherworldly about it — the way it shifts from green to blue to purple depending on the light, like it's holding a little piece of the ocean inside. I just had to work with it.

These sweet little copper hoop earrings are handcrafted in my Virginia studio, each one featuring a hand-picked abalone shell set into a hammered copper hoop measuring approximately 1" in diameter. That size hits a sweet spot — enough presence to turn heads, light enough to wear all day without a second thought.

Copper and abalone are a natural pairing. The warm, earthy tones of the metal play beautifully against the iridescent shimmer of the shell — organic and a little wild, just like the coast itself. No two shells are identical, which means no two pairs of these earrings are ever exactly the same.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is something small and beautiful. At $25, these are the treat-yourself purchase you don't have to think twice about.

Two Finish Options

  • Bare Metal — raw copper with its natural warmth and character. Will develop a rich patina over time as it ages beautifully with wear.
  • Sealed with Protectaclear — a professional-grade protective coating that preserves the copper's original color and slows tarnishing, ideal if you prefer low-maintenance jewelry.
