Making jewelry from copper is still popular. Copper is loved by many for its warm glow and health benefits. Being a soft metal and taking an easy shape made copper more versatile for making kitchenware as well. We always admire the fascinating copper bowls, vases, and jars in museums found at historical sites dating back over 2,000 years. Because copper keeps water cold, it was used to make water jars, and it was an excellent metal for cooking, so many pots were discovered. Copper has always been one of the most functional metals.
Copper has been celebrated as a precious metal for centuries. Copper has often been used for its beauty and lustre to create ornaments, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and other gifts. Most people like the warm glow of copper pieces, as copper’s beautiful, earthy tone also has a soothing, comforting effect.
Copper is also an excellent metal for making copper jewellery by hammering, bending, and giving different textures. Copper is the base metal for most of the elegant enamel and cloisonne ornaments made for centuries. You can find these gorgeous, unique enamel pieces in museums and the most expensive stores throughout Europe and in North America.
Handmade copper ornaments gained greater importance once their health benefits were discovered. Hammered copper bracelets, rings, and earrings became more widely available and sought after. Copper absorbs negative ions from the body and relieves the pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism. Some copper jewelry is also available with magnets to help alleviate the pain further.
There is also another way of making it that is very fascinating. This handmade copper jewelry originated in an ancient Turkish art that dates back centuries.
Handmade Copper Jewelry, Horse Earrings
This unique jewelry is made from silver-plated copper in horse, dolphin, hummingbird, and dragonfly designs. To contrast silver and copper, black is used between them to separate the two metal colours. To highlight all these exceptional pieces, parts of them are diamond-cut. Diamond cut is done by hand and requires highly skilled craftsmanship that can only be obtained through years of training.
Diamond cut, also known as bright cut, makes copper bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces look very valuable and expensive. These unique diamond-cut pieces look like they have embedded diamonds and sparkle like the stars in the sky.
Most people who like copper appreciate all the skilled work that goes into it, cherish their unique pieces, and value and enjoy them for a long time. If an artisan is making it from copper, it is better to coat each piece with lacquer so that people want it for a long time without polishing.
Designing and crafting new bracelets and earrings has always been the fun part, and receiving great reviews and compliments from customers has always encouraged these talented artisans to come up with more ideas.
This art form originated from an exclusive ancient copper craft. Each piece has an acrylic coating to prevent copper from tarnishing, so no polishing or special care is required. Handmade bracelets, handmade earrings, handcrafted necklaces, unique rings, chokers, pins, brooches, hair clips, and lockets can all be made into matching sets. Many new designs are planned for the upcoming months.
