Introduction
Ever pulled on a pair of earrings and felt them tugging at your lobes by dinnertime? That’s usually the first thing people tell us they love about our Silver-Plated Copper Earrings. They sit light, they look bold, and they don’t ask for much once they’re on.
Every pair comes from a family workshop that has been drawing, cutting and finishing copper jewelry by hand since 1985. Whether you’re after a gift, an everyday favorite, or something with a little wildflower or Southwest spirit, here’s what’s worth knowing before you shop.
Why Copper Makes Such a Good Starting Point
Copper is one of the oldest metals people have ever worked with, and that long history is a big part of its charm. Our whole business is built around an ancient copper craft, and we’ve spent decades developing our own artwork and techniques on top of it. Copper holds fine detail beautifully, and its warm tone gives every design some depth. Add a silver-plated surface and the artwork really stands out.
Here’s the part people don’t expect. Because the design sits on a plated sheet, the lines stay crisp and the finished earrings feel light on the ear. One customer bought the Treviso earrings as a gift for someone who needed a pair she could wear every day, and called them perfect.
Another uses our pieces in lifestyle photo shoots and says they’re light, never heavy, which is why the models keep asking to take them home. That kind of feedback matters to us. It tells us the pieces work in real life, not just on a screen.
How Each Pair Gets Made by Hand
Nothing here comes off a giant assembly line. The business began with Tony in Vancouver, Canada, and in 2014 we opened a second workshop in Dayton, Ohio, because so many people in the United States were asking about our handmade pieces. Let me walk you through what actually happens to a sheet of copper before it turns into something you’d wear to a wedding or to the grocery store.
It starts on paper. Each design is hand-drawn first, then screen printed onto silver-plated copper sheets. From there, the jewelry is cut out by hand, one piece at a time. Next comes the step that gives these earrings their glow: every piece is individually diamond cut to bring out the natural luster of the copper. Last, four layers of acrylic finish go on to protect the surface, which is why you’ll never need a polishing cloth.
It sounds like a lot of steps, and honestly, it is. But it’s the reason we can say, without stretching the truth, that we’re the only ones making this type of jewelry with these techniques and designs. When you pick up a pair of Silver-Plated Copper Earrings from our workshop, you’re wearing years of trial and error, not a mass-produced shortcut.
Designs Worth Browsing
Scroll through the earrings collection and you’ll notice the range pretty quickly. Our work draws on wildlife, nature, and Native American and Southwestern culture, so you get everything from soft florals to desert stars. Everything is sorted by theme, which makes shopping easier when you already know the mood you’re after. Here’s a quick tour so you can head straight to the style that fits your wardrobe, or your gift list.
Start with the themes. We organize pieces into Floral, Western, Nautical, Religious and Plain collections, plus a Van Gogh collection for anyone who loves the painterly color of Vincent van Gogh. If you’d rather skip themes altogether, the earrings page lets you sort by best selling, price or newest arrivals.
A few pairs to give you a feel: the Southwestern star earrings at $20.95, the palm tree design earrings at $22.95, the rose and silver color feather earrings at $22.95, and the Red Rose rose gold studs at $19.95. Florals show up everywhere too, from dainty teardrop green flowers and red daisy cut-outs to silver daisies and light blue floral designs. Want something with attitude? The black flower retro drops make a statement. Buying for someone whose taste you can’t quite read? Studs are a safe bet.
Keeping Them Looking Good
Good news for anyone who dreads jewelry upkeep. These pieces are made so you can skip the polishing routine entirely. The protective acrylic coating is there to prevent tarnishing, and it’s applied in four layers on every piece. Still, a little common sense goes a long way. Treat them kindly and they’ll stay bright for a long time, and the care rules are refreshingly short.
The main rule is to keep them away from chemicals like bleach and detergents. Harsh cleaners are exactly what wears finishes down, so take your earrings off before you wash dishes, scrub the bathroom or do laundry. After that, you’re pretty much done. No dips, no pastes, no special cloths. Tarnish is what happens when metal reacts with its surroundings over time, which is why that sealed finish does so much of the work. You can find the full guidance on our Materials & Care page. And that black gift box with the felt bag one customer raved about? It doubles as tidy storage.

Final Thoughts
Good jewelry should feel like you, weigh next to nothing and survive real life. That’s what we aim for with every pair. Hand-drawn designs, hand-cut pieces, diamond-cut shine and a four-layer protective finish all point to one idea: silver-plated copper earrings that look special without demanding anything back from you.
Start with the collection that matches your mood. Floral is soft, Western has some grit, and Plain goes with everything. Browse a few pairs, check the free shipping and exchange details, and pick the one that makes you smile. We’ll keep doing what we’ve done since 1985: drawing, cutting and finishing every piece by hand.
