Hammered Russian Bangle – Copper
SKU: mtb 378
Three slender copper bangles move as one in this Russian-style, interlinked design. Each piece has been hammer-finished by hand, giving the warm metal a softly irregular surface that catches light with every movement.
Alan Myerson designed the bangle in Australia; skilled artisans in Mexico make it with ethical production in mind. The 68mm internal diameter offers a generous, easy-to-wear scale, while its three-part construction gives the bracelet a sense of motion rather than rigid form.
Details: Material: copper. Finish: hammered. Internal diameter: approx. 68mm. Thickness: approx. 3mm. Weight: approx. 25g. SKU: mtb 378.
Copper was the first metal ever used by humans. Middle Eastern artisans of the 5th and 6th millennia B.C. fashioned this lustrous, orange-red element into: tools, utensils, weapons and jewellery. Copper is said to have many beneficial health properties, including the pain relief of arthritis.
You can either let your copper jewellery tarnish and develop a beautiful aged patina with time or you can easily clean it to maintain its rose gold colour. The easiest way to clean copper: Rub a mixture of 1 tablespoon of table salt and 1 cup of white vinegar onto the copper with a soft cloth and rinse. Or, immerse the tarnished copper into a pot of 3 cups of water and the salt-vinegar mixture, bring to a boil and boil until the grime and tarnish comes off
