Layers and layers of petals!
These earrings feature a mix of metals & textures. At the base is an oval of copper, pressed with a leafy pattern, oxidized black and lightly polished to reveal the warm copper leaves.  Layered on the sides are little faceted amethysts, pinned in place with silver pins (that allow them to wiggle!).  Multi layered petal flowers are held in with amethysts and silver pins.   
The earwires are 14kt rose gold filled.  The earrings measure just under 2" long with the earwires.  They come packed in a little gift box.
