Stylish and Original Butterfly Jewelry & Hummingbird Jewelry Designs
Butterfly and hummingbird designs by the artisans of Copper Reflections are unusual, as we are the only ones making this type of handmade jewelry using techniques and designs that we have developed over the years. We have been designing and producing our ideas since 1985. I started my fashion business in Vancouver, Canada. I was making jewellery and selling it on the street in Gastown, Vancouver.
I began selling my unique jewelry crafts at retail craft shows in British Columbia and Alberta, showcasing hummingbird necklaces, hummingbird earrings, butterfly bracelets, and various styles. I was making custom designs for my customers. Later, I moved to Ontario, Canada, and began attending craft shows there. I also started my business in the United States and travelled to the craft shows in New York State, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Illinois, Vermont, and many other states. I really enjoyed travelling, seeing new places, and meeting other craftspeople and customers.
It was at a craft show in Columbus, Ohio, when I met a man from Missouri who showed me how to do a diamond cut. This greatly increased our sales. I have always appreciated his help in teaching me this technique. Individually, our hummingbird and butterfly designs sparkle like they have diamonds on them. This made everything look more expensive. Being so unusual that most people had not seen it before, combined with our reasonable prices, has made our business a great success.
I began to wholesale my unique artistic gift ideas throughout the United States and Canada at craft shows. Over the years, we have developed new techniques and artistic designs that have made this type of hummingbird jewelry unique to us.
We have received artisan awards for the originality of our items and the quality of our craft. The designers and artisans of Copper Reflections make each piece by hand, individually handcrafting copper into unique modern designs. Our artisans bring to you antique copper crafts in modern designs and exceptional quality. We enjoy making them with great care, hoping that you will enjoy wearing them.
Copper Reflections has many skilled, talented artisans with many years of experience in handcrafting jewelry and unique gifts. We do not use pre-made parts and assemble them. Copper sheets come into our workshop in coils. They are sliced into the correct lengths for hummingbird earrings, bracelets, rings, hummingbird necklaces, etc, using guillotines.
These copper sheets are then polished with buffing tools and steel wool to achieve a matte, subtle finish. Jewelry designs are made ready after months of hard work, many trials and experiments and are finally transferred onto the copper sheets.
Designs are then silver-plated, and special finishes are applied to make them last for years, so people can enjoy their handmade jewelry without any special care. There are actually three layers of finish to prevent the colour from changing or tarnishing over the years. These pieces are then cut out by hand using jewelers’ shears or cutting tools.
After the jewelry pieces are cut out into their shapes, they are then meticulously diamond cut ( or bright cut ) so that they sparkle as if they have diamonds inserted in them. This makes our very reasonably priced yet look more expensive. We believe that, for this very reason, our unique butterfly designs have been selling so well for almost 35 years.
Buying butterfly and hummingbird jewelry is a popular choice because it carries a multitude of beautiful meanings, appeals to diverse aesthetics, and often represents very personal journeys. Here’s a breakdown of the key reasons why people are drawn to it: Our designs are very reasonably priced compared to their perceived value. Butterfly jewelry looks more expensive when you consider their uniqueness and great quality, and compare them with their prices. They look very expensive, but they are very reasonably priced. After the bright cut, another coat of finish is applied for extra protection.
Handmade earrings, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, hair clips, and rings in butterfly-themed jewelry are then shaped into their unique forms. Copper sheets come into our workshop as coils of raw copper and go out as beautiful, unique, high-quality, and very reasonably priced.
Our years of hard work have been very enjoyable for all of us at Copper Reflections’ workshop, as we take great pride in our meticulous work and enjoy what we do. We are happy to know that many customers over the years have enjoyed our unique designs, which have made all our hard work worthwhile.
