The Copper Metal

Copper is a metal alloy with a rich reddish-orange color and is also an essential mineral found in plants and in our own bodies. The use of the metal Copper dates back over 10,000 years. Copper is combined with other metals such as brass and bronze to make it stronger, by itself would be too soft, it would be too malleable. Copper is a great metal for use in jewelry because of these properties. This metal also develops a lovely green patina, which is why it is used in sculptures and statues. Our beautiful Statue of Liberty is the largest copper statue in the world!

Copper is one of the top three recycled metals because 100% of the copper can be recycled without any loss. This is why the copper that was discovered thousands of years ago is still being used today.

Care of your Copper Jewelry:

Sometimes, copper jewelry or the skin can turn green. This will happen because the copper metal interacts with oils from your skin. This is called copper chelates. A little soap and water will take the green coloring off. Some people say this is proof that the copper is working. You can polish your copper jewelry using lemon juice (soak for up to 20 minutes in a small bowl) and a use a soft tooth brush or a soft cloth. Then wash off with soap and water and pat dry.
