4.5mm Wabi-Sabi Patina, COPPER Ball Chain, Bulk Chain, Hand Applied Patina, by the Inch, 6" to 72"
A new patina that I created and call Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese phrase that roughly translates as "imperfect beauty". This patina starts with deeply oxidized copper, onto which layers of colors that range from yellow/green to rust to near white, with a whitewash effect. The overall look is of neutral tones, and this patina blends well with many of the colors found in nature and with most metals.
HOW TO CARE FOR PATINAS:
Hand applied patinas on metal are rather delicate. They are not meant to be worn as everyday jewelry, and especially not in wet situations. I seal them with lacquer, which will not hold up to exposure to water. If they must be cleaned, I would recommend very gentle wiping with a dry cloth. Absolutely no water or cleaning solutions of any kind. You may want to apply a water resistant sealer over the lacquer, such as polyurethane or microcrystalline wax to help increase the durability of the patina.
Choose from 6 inches to 36 inches of chain. Choosing multiples (for example 2 of the 36" lengths) I will send 2 pieces. This is all copper chain made in USA, and is lead and nickel free. This listing is for bulk chain by the inch, with one matching connector sent with each foot (or less than a foot) ordered. If you purchase multiples they will be sent in the lengths you ordered, not in one piece.
Patinas are variable surface treatments, and the chain you receive will not look exactly like the pictures - each piece is unique but similar to those pictured.
This made to order custom patina chain has a production time of 1 to 2 weeks.
