Copper Jewelry

It takes a shape nothing else will. We build most of these pieces by electroforming — growing pure copper atom by atom onto the object itself in a bath carrying a low electrical current. A real fern, a sea urchin shell, a shard of beach glass, a feather. What comes out has taken the exact shape of the thing underneath it, down to the veins on a leaf. Casting cannot do that.

It is kind to skin. Pure copper is naturally hypoallergenic, which is why our cuffs suit people who react to other metals. It can leave a green mark on some skin — that is just the raw metal reacting, and it washes off.

It is alive. Copper darkens and warms into a patina over months of wear, then polishes back to bright whenever you want. No two pieces age the same way. If you like the idea of jewelry that changes with you, this is the metal. There is more about copper on the blog.

What you will find here

Hand-formed copper cuffs — plain, wave and mermaid-scale, our most repeated piece. Statement rings set with sea glass, sea pottery, real seashells, fossilized coral, amazonite, larimar, moss and garden quartz and labradorite. Dangle earrings in real aspen leaf, fern, feather, moss agate, grape agate, chalcedony and wood opal. Chrysocolla pendants with native copper still visible in the stone.
