This unique, heirloom-quality pair combines the tranquil beauty of aquamarine with the grounding energy of copper, creating powerful talismans for peace, communication, and inner strength.

Aquamarine: Stone of Courage & Calm

Aquamarine, the stone of courage, is believed to bring calming energies, reduce stress, and quiet the mind. It harmonizes its surroundings and has long been associated with protection and spiritual connection. Ancient mariners carried aquamarine as a talisman against drowning, believing in its power to connect them with the spirits of light. This beautiful stone is also thought to shield the aura, align the chakras, and facilitate clear communication, especially from higher planes. It is particularly helpful in clearing the throat chakra.

Copper: Energy & Mental Agility

Copper, the metal of Hermes, enhances mental agility and quick wit. An excellent conductor of energy, copper amplifies and transmits thoughts. It is also used in traditional healing practices to support overall well-being and boost energy. In these earrings, copper acts as a conduit, amplifying the calming and courageous energy of the aquamarine.

Electroformed Artistry: A Labor of Love

These earrings are a testament to the intricate art of electroforming. Layers of copper are slowly deposited onto a conductive surface, creating a unique, organic setting that cradles each aquamarine. This meticulous process, taking 12-24 hours for the forming alone, results in a durable and truly one-of-a-kind pair of wearable art.

Caring for Your Copper:

• Prevention is Key: Remove your copper jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, doing dishes, or applying lotions and makeup. Keep your jewelry clean and dry.
• Embracing the Patina: Some prefer the aged look that oxidation provides. For this, a gentle cleaning with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft brush is sufficient.
• Maintaining the Shine: If you prefer a brighter look, soak your copper jewelry (without stones or patina) in a glass bowl with a mixture of vinegar and salt. Important Note: This method is not recommended for jewelry with stones or applied patinas, as it can cause damage.

The Green Enigma:

Have you ever noticed a green mark on your skin after wearing copper jewelry? This is a common occurrence. It happens when the natural acids in your skin react with the copper, forming copper salts. These salts are harmless and can be easily washed off. The green color simply indicates that your skin has become more acidic, causing the copper to dissolve at a faster rate than your body can absorb it. This can be due to various factors, including sweat, stress, or dietary changes.

When your body is in balance, the copper is absorbed and dissolved at the same rate, preventing green marks. One day you might see green marks, and another day you might not, depending on your body chemistry at that moment.

A Protective Layer:

Our copper pieces are coated with Renaissance Wax to help slow down oxidation and patination. However, this is not a permanent solution, and the wax will wear off over time.

By understanding the nature of copper and following these simple care tips, you can enjoy your copper jewelry for its beauty and unique character for many years.
