Wearable Art: Patina alchemy on multi-stranded recycled copper necklace


Discover the Magic of Copper Patinas - Available on Etsy

The moment I've been waiting for has arrived - a chance to showcase the mesmerizing spectrum of patinas achievable on copper. When my dear friend Terri approached me with her beloved necklace in need of repair, inspiration struck. I presented her with a choice - to restore her old favorite or embark on an exciting journey to create a brand new piece inspired by her treasured necklace. The latter option had us both buzzing with enthusiasm.

My talented friend Julie from sweet-sparrow.com affectionately calls me an alchemist when I work with copper patinas, and there's a touch of truth in that. Copper holds a mystical quality; when working with repurposed and recycled copper, the possibilities are endless. You never know what lies within it, what vibrant colors will emerge when heat and chemicals come into play, or how time will gently reveal new hues as it forms a connection with its wearer. The process is akin to magic, and it's the very essence of joy in working with patinas on copper.

Let this necklace be a reminder to explore the magic within yourself. What wonders lie hidden, waiting to be unleashed? What mysteries will remain tucked away? Wear this captivating piece as a token to continually ask yourself those enchanting questions.
