The first piece of copper jewelry I made was when I was learning how to form a copper cuff and handling a hammer. I learned there is a rhythm when striking the metal. Hammering came natural for me so I decided to add this texture to my jewelry. I owe all my techniques to my wonderful husband the jeweler and mentor.

Taking care of your jewelry:  This piece of bronze jewelry is high polished and not sealed. It will naturally patina over time which gives it a duller sheen with an amazing coloring.  If you want more of the high polished look we recommend our polishing cloth in Accessories.
