Copper Jewelry Care
When brand new and unfinished, Copper Jewelry can look as pink and shiny as rose gold. As time passes, copper is inclined to darken, developing a beautiful warm brown patina. Copper is often made into necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets that accentuate nearly any ensemble. Copper jewelry can be shaped, textured, or enhanced with a multitude of creative designs to serve as an eye-catching accessory. The history of using copper for decorative purposes dates back thousands of years. Later, European metallurgists found a way to use technology to evolve copper. Copper coins were fused with other metals to create pieces of early jewelry. Various thicknesses and lengths can be achieved using copper to create beautiful pieces of jewelry. Copper jewelry can also be accented with other types of metals, including silver or nickel plating.
