September gemstone is "Sapphire" A stone of wisdom and royalty which can clear the mind and promote truth
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.

Taking care of your copper jewelry: This copper earrings is lacquered so it will keep its patina that it has. The copper ear wires are oxidized so they will stay the way it looks
