Copper jewelry is a type of costume jewelry, which is in a class of its own. The beautiful reddish color creates very dynamic looking pieces. Jewelry can be made fully of copper, or a combination of copper and sterling silver. The red against the silver looks particularly attractive. Copper is not a precious metal, but historically it is considered one of the most important discoveries ever made. It was by discovering this metal that ancient civilization stepped in to the Bronze Age.
The first use of copper was for tools and later on to create coins for currency. Copper Jewelry was also created fairly early on after its discovery. Ancient pendants made of this metal have been discovered by archeologists in Egypt. Over the years, jewelry made of copper has had significant uses for social, medical and spiritual purposes.

history of copper jewelry
Between 3900 and 2500BC, copper became a valuable mined item. A person’s status was based on how much copper he possessed. Crowns and headdresses were made in Egypt for the emperors, and jewelry makers were held in high esteem. This can be seen by the depictions of jewelry making that were illustrated on tomb walls. Wealthy Egyptians wore jewelry and clothing with copper alloy fittings.
Copper was not only used as decoration, but was also an important part of medical and spiritual rituals of Egyptian life. Copper instruments were used in the preparation of the mummies, and copper amulets were used to adorn the bodies. Copper jewelry was not only popular in Egyptian times, but also in the Americas, where the ancient Native Americans also placed value and status on this metal. Early Indian metalwork consisted of hammered and etched copper pendants, earrings and bracelets.
modern jewelry
Jewelry made of copper is still popular to this day, with designers creating many different designs. Geometric and abstract designs are particularly popular made out of this strong metal. It can look particularly interesting when combined with sterling silver, or with color added in the form of enamel. Anything from bracelets, to earrings, to rings can be created.
Earrings tend to use clips, so that the copper is not going inside the ear hole. Some people can have a reaction to copper, so a sterling silver post for earrings is advisable. Large cuffs made out of copper, with oxidized etchings make a great accessory to any outfit. Combined with a large statement pendant hanging on a long beaded necklace, you will be the talk of the town.

looking after copper jewelry
Copper is well known for turning skin green, and some people can have an allergic reaction to this metal. So, it is best to try out your copper jewelry by wearing it for short periods of time at first. If you do not have a reaction, then it is safe to wear. If buying earrings, it is advisable to make sure the piece going through your piercing is made of sterling silver, or surgical steel.
Copper will not hold its beautiful color forever, but is easily cleaned. To help it regain its shine, soak your pieces of jewelry in a solution of lemon or lime juice mixed with a pinch of salt.
