Hammered brass earrings from Africa. See a video of the makers on our Instagram page. 

Note: Handmade items are not perfectly uniform. There will be some very minor differences because a human made them by hand.

African brass is composed of 60% Copper and 40% alloy metal. Just like silver, copper will tarnish…but can be very easily cleaned and maintained.  You may find that the earrings turn a copper color (temporarily) when you clean them. That’s completely normal.
