Making Hammered Copper Earrings | Jewelry Making

Welcome to my channel! Here I'm making some hammered copper bar earrings. The shape of the earrings is made by softening (annealing) and hammering a thick copper wire. Filing and sanding is also required to get a smooth surface. To get a nice red coating on the surface the copper must be heated with a torch until red hot and quenched quickly. This patina is also very durable and with additional renaissance wax the earrings are well protected.

What solder do you use with copper I am new at this thanks.

[@joelpollanenjewelry6268]

Hey. You can use normal silver solder or copper solder.

Can I get a hammered look without actually hammering copper? I have copper scales on my knife and would like to do that. Is my only option a dremel with a round bit?

[@joelpollanenjewelry6268]

Hi! The only other method that comes to mind is to dremel with a round bit.

What do you use to polish after the heat coloring?

[@joelpollanenjewelry6268]

I polish with a green polishing compound I have with some felt wheels. I also used an agate burnisher and coated the pieces with renaissance wax.
