Silver or gold would produce more sophisticated pendants.

Colour coated wires would produce more vibrant earrings.

So, why did I choose to work with copper?

The main reason…. It’s different!

How often do you see copper in a jewelry store or in a jewelry booth at an artisan show?

Not very often! And copper is so beautiful!

The reddish colour of copper gives it a warm vintage feel, like a sip of full-bodied Merlot bursting with dark fruit flavours.

The intricate wire weaving I add gives the copper a decadence, like a bite of smooth dark chocolate melting on your tongue.

What’s not to love about copper?!?

Despite its appeal, copper does have a bad rap. I’ll talk more about that in a future post.
