Handmade Copper Money Clip Hammered Distressed Billfold Patina Antique Personalised Men's Gift Father's Day Dad Husband Birthday Gift Christmas Best Man

Stunning, hand-forged, heavyweight, distressed copper money clip. Handmade from start to finish, this clip is made to order in heavyweight solid copper. The textured finish is achieved using a variety of hammers, files and abrasive materials, but the finished piece is silky smooth and tactile to the touch. Simply beautiful to both look at and hold. The finished design is approximately 2" by 1" (5 x 2.5 cms).

The individually distressed surface is further enhanced with the application of an ageing patina to create the antique look. This darkens the copper and ages it perfectly, making it impossible to date. This combination of hammering, hand-forging and ageing ensures no two money clips will ever be identical. You will have a truly unique piece!

A final coating of Renaissance Wax is applied to protect the surface and delay oxidation. Your money clip will still darken further over time as the patina develops and becomes richer. Copper just keeps getting better and better the older it gets. A regularly used money clip stays naturally polished by handling and carrying in a pocket and my personal belief is that no further cleaning is required. You can of course buff it with a soft cloth if required, or very gently polish it with a jewellery polishing cloth to make it bright, but most prefer the natural look as it matures.

All my designs can be personalised, and this piece is no exception. This particular clip looks even more stunning with the addition of a little custom text, and is shown with an extra large (6 mm uppercase only) font that works perfectly with the distressed style of the design. Each letter is individually stamped by hand and as such there will be a slight variations in position and depth of characters. These add to the uniqueness of your piece.

This design can be bought completely blank (with just the distressed finish), or with custom stamping on the rear. There is room for up to 2 lines of 7-8 characters. Make your selection and leave your details. For case-sensitive or longer text messages a smaller font will be used.

**I have smaller fonts that I use on other designs, so if you need something longer adding to your clip, please get in touch and I'll make a custom listing for you. There are too many options to list them all, so if the 'standard' design isn't what you need, just send me a message and we'll work out the perfect gift for you. **

Your stunning money clip will of course arrive lovingly wrapped in acid free tissue and gift boxed.

My heavyweight money clips are designed to give many years of service when taken care of. Don't force/overload the clip as this will weaken its grip.
