Patricias Equinox Kopparörhängen

Two discs, linked so the lower one swings freely when you move. That movement is the whole point — copper staying in contact with the skin throughout the day, warm and present, not sitting still on a shelf somewhere.

Each disc I cut by hand from copper sheet and hammered across the full surface one strike at a time. The texture that comes from that process catches light differently than polished copper does. More alive, somehow. More like something made rather than manufactured.

Women who wear copper daily say something shifts that they can't quite name. I've heard that in enough different voices over fifty years to know it's the truest thing anyone's ever said about what I make.

Among the last linked disc earrings out of my Coalgate workshop. Made for the ears that want to carry a little warmth everywhere they go.
