Copper: Conductor of Energy & Mental Agility
Copper, the metal of the God Hermes, enhances mental agility and quick wit. As an excellent conductor of energy, it amplifies and transmits thoughts, even over long distances. In traditional healing practices, copper is used to support various aspects of well-being, from easing joint discomfort to boosting energy levels. In this piece, copper acts as a bridge, connecting the potent energies of the Clear Quartz and Herkimer Diamonds.
Caring for Your Copper Treasure:
Copper naturally oxidizes and darkens over time, developing a rich patina that adds to its character. To maintain its brightness, clean with mild dish soap and warm water, or for a deeper clean (avoiding stones), a vinegar and salt soak. Remember to remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or applying lotions. A Renaissance Wax coating helps slow oxidation. The natural reaction between copper and your skin may cause harmless green marks due to skin acidity. This is a natural process and varies from person to person.
Embrace the magic of these powerful crystals and adorn yourself with this unique, handcrafted pendant. It’s more than just jewelry; it’s a tangible connection to the Earth’s energy and a beautiful expression of your own inner strength.

Understanding and Caring for Your Copper Jewelry
Copper, a beautiful and versatile metal, has been used in jewelry for centuries. Its warm tones and natural character make it a popular choice, but understanding its properties is key to enjoying your copper pieces for years to come.
The Nature of Copper:
Copper (Cu) is a pure element. Like sterling silver, it’s prone to oxidation, meaning it reacts with air and moisture, causing it to darken over time. This is a natural process and contributes to copper’s unique patina. Factors like sunlight, sweat, chlorine, cosmetics, and other chemicals can accelerate oxidation.
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. Copper salts are harmless and can be easily washed off with soap and warm water. 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.
