Small but distinctive, they bring soft warmth and subtle handmade character to everyday jewellery styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese \u003cstrong\u003equatrefoil copper and sterling silver stud earrings\u003c\/strong\u003e were originally created to accompany Simone's matching pendant necklace as part of a small collection of handmade quatrefoil jewellery designs released around 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the matching pendant, the earrings are crafted from mechanically bonded sterling silver and copper using a process similar to gold-filled metal. Rather than a surface plating, the copper forms a genuine bonded outer layer over sterling silver beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earrings were carefully designed so the sterling silver sits comfortably against the skin while the warm copper surface faces outward. At this smaller scale, the copper takes on a soft rosy warmth that can almost resemble rose gold depending on the light, while still retaining the richer organic character unique to copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe simple quatrefoil shape gives the earrings a clean architectural feel, allowing the warm colour and softly reflective finish to become the focus. Their compact size makes them especially wearable for everyday styling while still feeling individual and distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Simone rediscovered these earrings years later alongside the matching pendant, they had aged surprisingly well in storage with only light polishing and fresh Renaissance wax required. The wax coating helps slow natural tarnishing, although as with all copper jewellery, some surface change over time is inevitable and occasional polishing is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earrings are finished with sterling silver posts and sterling silver earring backs for comfortable everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair them with the matching \u003ca href=\"\/products\/quatrefoil-copper-silver-pendant-necklace\"\u003eQuatrefoil Copper \u0026amp; Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace\u003c\/a\u003e for a co-ordinated look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll love:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanically bonded copper and sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e created using a process similar to gold-filled metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm polished copper finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with a soft rose-gold-like glow in certain light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSterling silver against the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e for comfortable wearability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitectural quatrefoil design\u003c\/strong\u003e inspired by historical decorative forms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact everyday stud earrings\u003c\/strong\u003e with distinctive mixed metal character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRenaissance wax coating applied\u003c\/strong\u003e to help slow natural copper tarnish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchive collection release\u003c\/strong\u003e rediscovered years after the original collection was retired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stud-earrings\"\u003eStud Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sterling-silver-earrings\"\u003eSterling Silver Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-jewellery\"\u003eSilver Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silver-gold-mixed-metal-jewellery\"\u003eMixed Metal Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e.
