Description
This handmade copper wire-wrapped ring is a complex, one-of-a-kind artisan piece that features a bold, structural design that combines several natural stones and “aura” crystals.
Design & Materials
The ring is constructed with heavy-gauge copper wire that has been woven, coiled, and layered to secure several distinct elements:
- Focal Stones: A large, faceted orange/amber gemstone is “caged” at the base.
- Aura Quartz Points: Two tall, translucent sunset aura quartz points flank the central piece, adding height and a prismatic glow.
- Beaded Array: A horizontal row of accent beads includes iridescent moon-glow spheres, a porous black lava stone, and a polished metallic bead.Â
Care and Maintenance
Since copper is a reactive metal, it requires specific care to maintain its bright finish:
- Cleaning: Use a mixture of lemon juice and salt or baking soda and vinegar to gently remove tarnish and restore shine. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, as it can cause further oxidation.
- Polishing: After cleaning, thoroughly dry the piece with a soft, lint-free cloth and buff it to prevent water spots.
- Protection: To prevent the copper from tarnishing or turning your skin green, you can apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or a jewelry-grade sealant like Renaissance Wax.
- Storage: Store the ring in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container or a soft cloth pouch.Â
