TWO FOR ONE! Get two pair of earrings for one price! These beauties are
handcrafted by Beautiful Things artisans. Stand out with the pink and green
dyed quartzite (Malaysian Jade) beads, or a more subtle touch with the smaller
Tiger Eye Quartz beads. Both pair are on copper clad ear wires with copper wire
wrapping. Either way you will have both pair to choose from. These items are
coated with anti-tarnish acrylic or wax to help prevent tarnish and/or
discoloration.
The best method to keep yourcopper jewelry nice and shiny, is to store it in a
re-sealable plastic bag orjewelry case with anti-tarnish paper. Make sure your
jewelry is clean andmoisture free before storing. Be sure to store your
copperjewelry in a dry storage container. The storage area should also be
cool.Excess heat will cause the copper to change color and develop a green
patinafinish.
Do not expose copper jewelry(especially patinated copper jewelry) to water or
any type of solvent. Removeall jewelry before showering or bathing
Do not wear jewelry while swimming (chlorine and salt will permanently
damagecopper and/or patina.When you receive my copperjewelry, the piece has
been initially treated with a protective coating toprovide you with the easiest
care possible. With extended wear, however, thecoating will eventually wear off
especially on surfaces that are in directcontact with the skin - rings,
bracelets, necklaces). Once this occurs,it is surprisingly easy to care for
copper jewelry just as it is for sterlingsilver.
The best way to bring back lusterto any piece of jewelry is to use a jewelry
polishing cloth that can be easilypurchased at most jewelry stores, online, and
at many drugstores. Forthose more delicate pieces, have a professional jeweler
steam clean or use anultrasonic cleaner. Don't attempt to clean the piece
yourself if set witha(s). Gems are easily damagedby ultrasonic cleaners. When
in doubt, take your jewelry to aprofessional.
Although folk lore abounds withstories of how the wearing of copper helps ease
the pain and discomfort ofarthritis, you might want to order one just because
it is a beautiful piece ofjewelry.When you wear your first piece of copper
jewelry, youmight be surprised to notice your skin turning a bit green, where
the copperbracelet, chain, etc. is in contact with your skin. This is totally
normal.Copper reacts naturally with the salt content on our skin, especially
when wesweat. Copper also reacts more quickly to acidic environments. This is
ablessing in disguise because your pH balance is important for overall
health.Take this as a sign to double check your diet, stress, etc. if you
notice thatyour skin turns green almost immediately.
