Pure Copper Cuff Bracelet | 3-Layer Twisted

Description
Three layers of solid copper twisted together into one cuff, open at the back, adjustable by hand. Heavier on the wrist than the single wire versions and it sits differently for it.

Copper anneals, which is the property behind all of this: heat it and it goes soft again, work it and it hardens. That cycle is what lets a piece like this be twisted tight without cracking, and it is the same behavior that let people make things out of copper thousands of years before anyone understood why.

The patina it develops is copper carbonate, the same compound that turns cathedral roofs and the Statue of Liberty green. On a wrist it stops well short of that, but it is the identical chemistry.

What You're Getting

• Material: Solid copper, not plated
• Fit: Open cuff, slightly adjustable, fits most wrists
• Finish: Uncoated

How to Wear It

• Slide it on sideways rather than pulling the ends apart.
• Heavier than the single wire cuffs, which some people prefer and some do not.
• Vinegar on a dry cloth takes the patina back off when you want it bright.

Wear It With

Uncoated solid copper, so it darkens with wear and can leave a green mark on skin. That is copper reacting with sweat and air and it washes off. A dry cloth dabbed in vinegar takes the patina back off the metal when you want the shine again.
