These earrings were made from an old British tin which appears to be 1960s era. They are lightweight like most of my vintage tin earrings. The elongated kidney earwires are brass that is lead and nickel-free. The floral tin piece is slightly concave and the tiny glass beads were added as a bit of whimsy and are not attached so take care to close earwires when not in use.
Expect some imperfections such as light scratches and oxidized backs as these are from vintage metal cans, most of which are over 50 years old.
My method: I hand cut the metal pieces, edges are sanded and then oxidized. A protective wax coating is applied to front and back of tin pieces as a final step.
Care: Avoid bathing and swimming with tin earrings as they prefer to be dry. They can be rinsed with water and gently wiped dry with a microfiber cloth. Despite the protective wax coating, take care not to store where they may be scratched.
