*Diana - Goddess of the Forest*
This one of a kind bracelet was inspired by the lore and the legends of the forest. In pagan lore the Goddess Diana is guardian of the forest and the four seasons of nature.
This bracelet was made using:
* Four strands of pure copper wire, entwined around the moonstone representing the four seasons
* Carnelian gemstones, illustrating the power and strength of nature.
* Freshwater pearls in rust brown and olive green, evoking the richness and colors of nature's glory.
* Delicate handcrafted copper roses, symbolizing the pure, wild and enduring beauty that nature gives us every day.
* Handcrafted copper leaves and vines, entwined around the bracelet cuff, representing regeneration and growth
This bracelet was completely handcrafted using only hand forged, hammered and polished pure copper wire and copper sheet metal, natural moonstone and carnelian gemstones, and natural freshwater pearls, and took approx 30 hours to make from start to finish!
The bracelet is finished with a hand made pure copper clasp.
The bracelet fits a small to medium wrist size, measuring 7 1/2 inches around.

How To Clean Your Copper Jewelry:
Keeping your copper jewelry bright is super easy!
When your copper jewelry gets too much of a dark patina for your preference simply follow the steps below to bring it back to brand new:
- Dip the entire piece of jewelry into a small bowl of freshly squeezed lemon juice, or any citrus fruit.
- Leave to sit in the juice, fully covered for 30 seconds to 1 minute
- Remove from the lemon juice
- Cover the entire piece with liquid hand wash/hand soap
- Rub the hand soap over the entire piece gently with your fingers. The alkaline soap creates the reaction with the acidic lemon juice that will remove the tarnish.
- Wash off thoroughly with warm tap water.
- Dry thoroughly with a hair dryer.
Your piece will look brand new and sparkling!
- To reduce tarnishing simply store in an airtight jewelry box or bag, and wash it periodically with liquid hand soap to remove moisture buildup and body oils.
