For the Love of Copper Hammered Copper Disk Earrings

Description

These earrings are made from hand hammered copper disks which have been textured and domed. The disks/domes are approximately 3/4 inch across.


Copper will tarnish over time, and will need to be polished occasionally, if the bright finish is to be maintained.

I am a recycler. These disks are formed from US copper cents. Some may have a slight shadow of image remaining on the rear, but the fronts are clear.

Wearing copper jewelry is a long-term folk remedy for arthritis. While this information is controversial, a double-blind study in Australia concluded that copper jewelry reduced pain and inflammation. The hypothesis is that copper is absorbed through the skin and chelated to another compound that exerts and anti-inflammatory action. Copper is part of ceruloplasmin and SOD (superoxide dismutase), compounds that have antioxidant activity that may contribute benefits to the treatment of arthritis (Murray, 1996).
