About Copper Electroforming:
Electroforming is a metal forming process that grows layer of a copper on a surface of object in electroplating solution, which lasts for years and makes items more friendly to the Nature. Electroforming makes each piece of jewelry unique and only one of a kind, because each time metal crystallizes in it's own natural way with a solid thick layer. copper is also non-synthetic, 100% natural element and all my items are nature-friendly and make no harm to environment. Patinas will fade and change with wear. The colours and tones of the copper will evolve, This is to be expected and appreciated, as each piece will grow with its new owner.
Benefits of Copper:
Copper is one of the few native metals, meaning it can be found in nature in its metallic form without needing extraction from an ore. This allowed early humans to utilize copper easily. It has a rich history in many early civilizations, including Egyptian, Roman, and Native American societies. Copper is also an essential dietary mineral for all living beings.
Copper is known to have healing properties including purifying the blood, keeping your blood pressure in check, strengthening your immune system, relief of headaches, arthritis, and joint pain.
***Please Note: Whether you are interested in copper jewelry for health or simply as adornment, I hope to provide you with a quality product. Proponents of the health benefits of copper believe that the body must make contact with the pure copper for health benefits to occur.Therefore, all of my pieces of copper jewelry are left unsealed. I can seal jewelry by request. The sealant may slightly alter the appearance of the patina.
Caring For Your Copper Jewellery:
This piece of copper jewelry has an intentional tarnish on it called patina which gives it a unique dark color. Do not clean your jewelry with tarnish remover or acidic treatments (lemon, ketchup, vinegar, etc.) or the patina finish will be removed. Over a long period of time (years,) this coloring will naturally darken. The best way to slow the darkening process is to keep your copper jewelry clean through preventative measures:
• Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place.
• Store your jewelry in a box or cloth bag when not in use. (Another term for tarnish is oxidation because the darkening of the copper occurs when it is exposed to oxygen.) In a pinch, a tightly sealed plastic bag may also be used.
• Remove your jewelry before sleeping, bathing/showering, and swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or salt water.)
• Wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth before storing. This helps to remove your natural body oils from the surface of the copper, which can also contribute to tarnish.
• Avoid wearing your jewelry during activities that may produce a lot of sweat. The acids and salts in your sweat will tarnish copper.
• Avoid wearing lotion, sunscreen, makeup, and perfume on areas of your body that will come in contact with your jewelry. If you use lotion on your hands, make sure to put on your earrings or latch your necklace before applying hand lotion.
• If your jewelry does come in contact with lotions, sunscreen, makeup, or perfume, it is all the more important to wipe it with a soft cloth when you take it off.
