JANECKA Large Copper Heart Earrings Hand Forged

Hand forging / hand fabrication is the process of forming a design by hammering with or without heat into a desired shape. This process is the rarest type of jewelry construction. It means taking a raw piece of cold rolled or sheets of precious metals, then hand cutting, hammering, and shaping the metal into the desired design. This process makes handmade jewelry almost 50% harder than cast jewelry.

• Hearts are hand cut from a sheet of copper, then texture with a hammer to create the desired finish.
