MIXED METALS PATINA NECKLACE KAN44

• Copper and brass abstract cut out textured patina necklace measures 3" x 1.25" includes bail
• Bronze 3mm flat cable chain with large lobster clasp measures 25" in length
• This clasp can be hooked at different lengths because of the large links.

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.

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 patina jewelry:  This piece of copper & brass jewelry has a patina that it sealed with a matte finish so it won't tarnish.  If you want to shine the bronze chain up just use a polishing cloth, which we have available under Accessories.
