We were flying back into Tucson across the southwest and mesmerized by aerial view of the desert landscape and the beautiful texture of the arroyos. We decided to design shapes like the waves of the arroyos in wax and cast it into jewelry. This began a new collection in sterling silver and than later we cast it in copper. You can sometimes see our fingerprints in the jewelry as the wax shape is formed with our fingers. With the knowledge and help of my husband I create them in wax for my copper pieces and he casts them for me.

Taking care of your jewelry: This piece of copper jewelry is oxidized and has a high polished finish. Non ferrous metals are known to patina over time. I would recommend a polishing cloth that we have available in Accessories this will take off the patina and bring back the polished finish.
