ENJOY! COMPLIMENTARY DRAGONFLY EARRINGS FOR JULY (add to cart and use code "DRAGONFLY PROMO" when checking out)
From the beginning I was always mixing metals together because as a woman I sometimes need something to go with lots of outfits. I love the contrast of different metals flowing together in a design. The mixed metals I use together look awesome with different textures and patinas. You’ll find me not just adding two metals like copper and silver but with three colors like brass to accent an outfit for any occasion.
I found that copper has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can be used to ease pain caused by arthritis or inflamed joints. Copper helps keep iron levels up and regulates blood flow for improved circulation. I feel better when I'm working at my jewelry bench it helps with my hands and wrists.
