I've been away for the holidays , camping in the Florida Keys and have found something unique about my copper thumb ring.
My ring is made completely of wire and braided. While at home, I wear it daily. So it gets washed continually throughout the day when I wash my hands. I marveled at how it has remained so shiny and untarnished. It is oxidized and sealed; but after all this time, one would think I'd have to clear the tarnish at some point.
Here it has sat on the table for a few days.
I picked it up this morning to find the beautiful rosy color has darkened.
I decided to wear it anyway. To my surprise with each hand washing, the pretty rose color is returning! Only using Dawn dish detergent or soft soap and water.
I am excited to experiment further. I normally advise removing rings when washing, cooking , etc but with Copper tgis may not be necessary.
More to follow as I experiment.
