Elaine's Finch Copper Bracelet

Almost certainly because what you were wearing before wasn't solid copper. The vast majority of copper jewellery sold online is plated, a thin coating over a base metal. Every piece in our collection is 100% pure copper all the way through. No plating, no base metal, no coating. The other factor is consistency: copper is meant to be worn every day, not occasionally. Wear it every day for a month before deciding.

Copper is an essential mineral the human body genuinely needs, and wearing it against the skin is a practice that predates modern medicine by thousands of years. What I can tell you is that the people who come to us at 55, 60, 65 keep coming back, year after year, without me ever having to explain why. Whether you call it a placebo effect or not, they've noticed something they want to keep noticing.

Formal clinical studies have produced mixed results, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I can say is that copper has been worn against human skin for over 3,000 years in practically every civilisation on earth. Roman soldiers. Ayurvedic healers. Generations of women who passed it down to their daughters. Our customers aren't scientists: they're simply people who tried everything else first.

Yes. Pure copper is naturally durable. Salt water and chlorine will speed up the patina process, the piece will darken faster, but that isn't damage. It's simply copper responding to its environment. If you'd rather keep the original shine, rinse with fresh water after swimming. Otherwise: wear it freely. It's made to be lived in, not kept in a drawer.

Copper is a base metal, yes. What you're paying for is 100% pure material, handmade, one piece at a time. No mass production. No plating. No coating. Every piece is shaped, stamped and finished by hand. When they're gone, there won't be more.
