This listing is for 2 bracelets. One zinc cuff bracelet and one matching copper bracelet . Both bracelets are hand made from heavy gauge metals and are made as a SET. when selecting the size, both bracelets will be made in the same size. If you want them to be different sizes, please contact me with the sizes you want each one to be. For example: Copper size 5 and zinc size 7.
You will also have the option to select the width of these bracelets.
The thinnest one is about 0.23" (5.8 mm) wide. This is what I use for the anklets on this listing:

-----------------------------------------
One bracelet is made from 99.9% pure zinc and the second bracelet is made from pure copper. The industry calls 99.9% pure even though it is not 100%.
Both bracelet started as a round wire with some rather heavy grooves from the drawing process. The zinc especially. By forging the metal down, I am able to minimize the visibility of these marks. Some of these lines (grooves) are still visible and I took a couple of closeup pictures to show what these lines look like under magnification. For the most part, these lines are not something that jumps out at you. You have to look pretty close to see them.
Zinc bracelets have a reputation for being helpful in several health related areas. One of these areas that zinc is touted to be of some benefit has to do with prostate issues. Another area where zinc bracelets are used in some parts of the world is by couples trying to conceive.
I also discovered that another reason many use zinc is to build up the immune system. Maybe that is why I have seen a trend to add zinc to many vitamin C supplements on the market.
Copper has earned the reputation of being incredibly useful in the health and well being of the human body. Not to mention animals.
I am collecting feedback on the zinc and copper bracelets and I will be updating the listing with any pertinent information as I get it.
I also have a great article on copper and you can find it on my website here:
