Copper and Silver Hammered Kite Shield Earrings

The hammered kite shield is one of the oldest forms of human armor — a shape that steadies the hand and strengthens the spirit. In this pair, patinated copper holds the marks of the hammer as both texture and memory. Each silver bow wire is anchored by small molten-silver balls, forged directly in place and finished by hand.

Three protective layers seal the surface, preserving the rich copper patina and soft silver glow. A reminder that beauty and protection can coexist — and that strength can look like grace.

Materials & Process:

• Patinated copper shield, kite-shaped, hammered texture
