These earrings are made with copper and real ethically sourced cicada wings. These earrings have copper ear hooks. If you would like to request a different earring hook style or material, please email me at ashley@copperashes.com. Disclaimer: Colors may vary slightly from photos due to lighting. All copper is sealed with a protective coating to keep the metal color preserved. The coating eventually will wear off and metal colors may change. To prevent metal changing, you can apply coatings of clear nail polish as needed. It is also NOT recommended that you wear this jewelry in water.
