To create truly unique jewelry, I use different acids, chemicals and even wine to achieve the many colors and patterns in my patinas. I never write any formulas down but have fun experimenting with my metals.  I use multiple coats of lacquer (both shiny and matte) to give depth and keep the patina from changing or touching your skin. 

I’ve always been a texture gal and get so excited when I observe beauty in nature. I think about ways of reproducing these textures, sometimes spending hours in my studio. My husband and mentor have helped me with the transformation process. I use lots of different tools to grind the metal for different textures and patterns and then I sometimes oxidize or patina each piece. Enjoy!

Taking care of your copper jewelry:  This bronze patina & textured pendant is lacquered so it will stay the same coloring.  The bronze chain is not sealed and will darken with age.  It you want to brighten up the chain click here for a polishing cloth.
