CopperTreeArt

Thank you for stopping by my shop. Each piece is hand created with my own two hands. All of my work has been photographed to best represent the piece. Please be aware that every computer monitor is calibrated differently for contrast and color.

Care of your jewelry

All pieces have been coated with a high quality lacquer and wax. Over time and continuous wear, this sealant can wear down. Exposed copper will change color and oxidize over time adding to the pieces natural beauty and creating a rustic natural patina. The sealant will most likely prevent the jewelry from turning your skin green. However, everyone’s body chemistry reacts differently. Your body releases chemicals that may react with the surface of the metal. If you do notice greening on your skin, know that it is not harmful and will easily wash off. If needed, you can simply coat the inside of our ring or bracelet with clear nail polish to prevent this from happening. Avoid excessive dirt, water, or harsh abrasives while wearing this jewelry.

Liver of Sulfur/ Patinas
Some pieces have been treated with liver of surfer to darken the surface. This can wear off over time. Keeping the surface free of excessive water will help preserve your patina. If you want to return your piece to a darker patina, you can reapply liver of sulfur or put your jewelry in an air tight bag with warm cooked eggs. Feel free to contact me for more information on this.
