Crescent Necklace Copper
Crescent Necklace Copper. Approximate link dimensions: 1 3/8" Length, 14 Gauge. Each necklace has a two inch range of adjustability. Thus an 18" necklace can be worn anywhere between 16" to 18" in quarter inch increments. Unlike Sterling Silver and 14k Gold, Copper is not an alloy of metals but a pure metal. This requires the use of Silver Solder, which is why each solder joint shows bright Silver. Freshly created copper jewelry is bright pink and quickly develops a rich red, earthy patina as it interacts with atmospheric oxygen and your individual body chemistry. Allow this to flourish on its own for a magically evolving surface treatment, or dip in your favorite tarnish remover to re-establish its original luster.
