The Cross Design:
Hand-Hammered Texture: Each copper cross is individually hammered by hand using traditional metalworking tools. This creates an authentic, rustic texture with light-catching facets and organic character. No two crosses are exactly alike—each one is a unique work of art.
Why Hammered Copper is Beautiful:
- 🔨 Light-catching facets - Each hammer mark reflects light differently
- ✨ Dimensional texture - 3D surface adds depth and visual interest
- 🎨 Artisan aesthetic - Handcrafted, not machine-made
- 🌟 Rustic elegance - Combines rough texture with refined design
- 🏆 Unique character - No two are exactly the same
Turquoise Jasper Beads:
Natural Stone Beauty: Each earring features a vibrant turquoise jasper bead—a natural stone with a gorgeous blue-green color reminiscent of ocean waters. The 4mm round beads add a perfect pop of color against the warm copper.
Why Turquoise Works:
- 🌊 Ocean-inspired color - Fresh, vibrant blue-green
- 💙 Spiritual meaning - Stone of protection, healing, and communication
- 🎨 Beautiful contrast - Cool turquoise against warm copper
- ✨ Natural stone - Authentic, earth-mined beauty
- 💎 Timeless appeal - Turquoise never goes out of style
Sterling Silver Wire Wrapping:
Each turquoise bead is individually wire-wrapped onto the copper cross using fine sterling silver wire. This artisan technique creates a secure, permanent attachment while adding a bright silver accent that complements both the copper and turquoise.
💍 Premium quality - .925 sterling silver, not plated
✨ Bright contrast - Silver against copper creates visual interest
💪 Secure attachment - Beads won't come loose or fall off
🎨 Artisan technique - Requires skill and precision
🌟 Mixed metals - Copper and silver together is on-trend
Sterling Silver Ear Wires:
The crosses dangle from sterling silver fish hook ear wires—the most comfortable and popular earring style. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive ears.
💍 Hypoallergenic - Safe for sensitive ears
✨ Fish hook style - Easy to insert, comfortable to wear

Care Instructions:
Copper Care: Copper will naturally develop a patina (darkening) over time, adding rustic character. To maintain bright copper, polish regularly with a copper polishing cloth or use lemon juice and salt. Store in an airtight bag to slow patina development.
Sterling Silver Care: Polish ear wires and wire wrapping with a silver polishing cloth to restore shine. Store in an airtight bag to prevent tarnishing.
Turquoise Care: Turquoise jasper is durable but can be damaged by harsh chemicals. Remove earrings before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.
Spiritual Significance:
The cross is one of the most powerful symbols in Christianity, representing faith, sacrifice, and redemption. Wearing cross earrings is a beautiful way to express your beliefs and keep your faith close. Combined with turquoise—a stone associated with protection, healing, and spiritual communication—these earrings carry deep meaning beyond their beauty.
