Since copper can be easily minipulated into many forms, it has been favored by many ancient cultures. Eastern
Europe, Egypt, and Iran have many astonishing examples of early copper jewelry. In its natural occurring state,
copper was likely the first metal used by early man. By 8000 B.C., copper was used as a substitute for stone by
Neolithic man. Around 4000 B.C., the Egyptians started casting copper, and by 3500 B.C. it was alloyed with tin to
produce Bronze. In mythology and alchemy, copper was associated with the goddess Aphrodite, relating to its
radiant beauty and use in producing mirrors. The name copper is derived from the Latin aes Cyprium, which
means “metal of Cyprus,” which was later shortened to cyprium, and later corrupted to cuprum. In the United
States, the unique symbol for the 7th Wedding Anniversary is copper, which can be made into beautiful
designer copper jewelry that she can treasure for her entire life.
Copper jewelry will eventually oxidize, unless it has been coated with varnish or a protectant. When copper
tarnishes it turns a beautiful green color. Skin that has reacted with copper will often turn green as well and the
reaction is completely harmless to the body. You will have a higher chance of your skin turning green the more
often you wear your jewelry, especially rings. By following a few simple steps, most copper jewelry is easily
cleaned with a few household ingredients.
The Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan has probably the world’s largest concentration of native copper. Other
localities include Bolivia, the Ural Mountains in Russia, England, Australia, Germany, and Arizona. Regardless of
the myths and folk lore surrounding the medicinal value of wearing copper jewelry, the warm rich tones of copper
jewelry make it a “must have” of any fashion conscious woman.
