Copper

Heart and soul of my jewels

Copper is the heart of my jewelry: an ancient, fascinating, and ever-changing material. It was one of the first metals worked by man, and even today it retains a unique allure.

Characteristics and meaning

• Unique and iridescent : each copper surface evolves over time, darkening or creating green and brown reflections.

• A metal that breathes : it reacts with skin, air and light, transforming along with the wearer.

• Symbolism : Always associated with vitality and inner harmony, copper is a bridge between the earth and the body's energy.

Care and maintenance

Copper naturally changes over time: this transformation is part of its beauty.

If you want to keep it brighter:

• Store it in a cloth bag or in the box I shipped your jewelry in, away from humidity.

• Avoid contact with creams, perfumes and detergents, especially do not wear it if you are at the spa or in contact with sulfur.

• Polish it with a soft, dry cloth.

• For a deeper clean, you can use natural methods (lemon and salt, or baking soda with water), rinse quickly and dry well.

• Wear it often: contact with the skin keeps the copper more alive.

A curiosity

Copper is a "living" metal: it can leave a slight greenish cast on the skin. This is a natural, harmless, and temporary phenomenon that is easily removed by washing the skin with soap and water.
