Copper In Jewelry

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.

Wow!!!! 2500 FaceBook fans!!!!

I can hardly believe it myself...

Quite a few give aways ago I asked "Do You Trust Me?" So many of you did that I was astounded.

Well, it applies here as well.. Only I know what the prize will be, but I can promise it will be a good one!

All I will say is this:

The winner will receive an item made of Sterling Silver & Gold Fill.
