Small Maple Leaf Copper Dangle Earrings

Nature-Inspired Style That Doesn’t Try Too Hard

These earrings aren’t loud, but they still get noticed. They’ve got a natural charm that’s perfect for anyone who loves simple things with a bit of story. Whether you're the kind of person who wanders farmers markets on the weekend or someone who just wants to bring a little nature into your everyday look, these copper leaf earrings are worth checking out.

Handcrafted in San Francisco using recycled copper, they’re shaped like real maple leaves, right down to the veins. That’s because they’re made with a die-striking process, which basically stamps out that crisp leaf detail. The texture is super lifelike, and it catches the light just right.

Product Benefits

• Size: 1 ¾ inches long by 1 inch wide, so they dangle without dragging
• Finish: Protected with a tarnish-resistant, nontoxic clear polymer so they keep looking good
• Metal: Raw copper with no patina, so it keeps its warm, reddish glow
• Ear Wires: Brass French hooks – easy on the ears and lightweight
• Design Detail: Die-struck texture for realistic leaf veining
• Great Gift Idea: Perfect 7th wedding anniversary gift (that’s the copper year!)
• Eco-Friendly: Made from 100% recycled and refined U.S.-sourced metals
