Copper Jewellery

Copper is a versatile metal that is used in a variety of applications: weapons, coins, conductors, vessels, jewellery, machinery, etc. This metal has a reddish-brown colour and is highly durable. Because of these traits, copper is a favourite metal, as far as jewellery makers are concerned

Copper – A Favorite Material
Copper is a metal that is frequently used to create different pieces of jewellery. This is because of its orange-brown hue (earth-tone), durability, softness, and malleability. It is easy to shape, engrave, and imprint on it.

In its purest form, copper is not the ideal metal to make jewels. However, when it is combined with other materials such as tin and zinc, its strength is considerably improved.

Copper jewellery
Copper has been used as a material for jewellery from ancient times. The earliest copper jewellery piece that has been found dates back to the 8th millennium BC.

Copper is generally used to make jewellery such as cuffs, bracelets, and even hand-wrought jewellery. Copper jewellery items like studs and danglers have their exclusive attractiveness. The antique vibes that the copper jewellery spreads across are exemplary. Another significant matter to note is that the colour of copper jewellery will go well with all other colours; hence, it will suit almost all costumes and gemstones.

The value of copper jewellery pieces will increase when precious stones are inlaid. Copper jewellery is available in different styles like engraved, polished, mixed-metal, etched, and carved.

Benefits of Wearing Copper jewellery
There is a belief that wearing copper jewellery creates a therapeutic effect on the human body, due to the small amounts of absorption that happens when it combines with human sweat, and this is beneficial to the body.

How to Clean Copper jewellery
