Description
Some pieces you forget you're wearing - until the light catches them and reminds you. I made these hoops for the women who want something real on their ears without having to think about it - each one formed by hand from a single length of copper wire, shaped into its circle, then faceted one small strike at a time until the whole surface catches light the way only hammered copper does.
Copper has been worn close to the skin for thousands of years, and the women who come back to me always say the same thing: it just feels right in a way they can't quite explain.
These are among the last earrings I'll make before I close my workshop for good. I hope they find the ears that will wear them every single day.
How do I know if it's real copper?
Pure copper isn't magnetic. Most of the copper jewelry sold online is either plated (a thin copper coating over a cheaper metal like steel or brass) or alloyed with enough iron or nickel to make it feel magnetic — that's the quickest way to spot a fake.
The test is simple:
- Grab any fridge magnet
- Hold it against your cuff, ring, or necklace
- If it sticks — even slightly — it isn't pure copper
- If it doesn't stick, you're holding the real thing
Every piece I make is 99.9% pure copper — never plated, never alloyed with cheap metals. Run the test on yours the day it arrives. If it ever fails, I'll refund you immediately.

4 Reasons Women Have Worn Copper for 3,000 Years
A Tradition That Predates Medicine
From Egyptian queens to Roman soldiers to Ayurvedic healers, copper has been worn against the skin for over 3,000 years — long before pharmacies existed.
Made for Daily Wear
Light enough to forget, heavy enough to feel. Vera's cuffs are hammered to be worn every day — in the shower, the garden, while you sleep — without ever taking them off.
Develops Your Patina
Real copper changes with you. Within weeks, your bracelet develops a patina unique to your skin — a quiet record of every day you've worn it. No two pieces ever look the same.
Heirloom by Hand
Two pieces a day. 99.9% pure copper — the same purity worn for centuries. No machines. No coatings.
About Coppersmith & Daughters
My Grandmother Lived to 96. She Wore Copper Every Single Day.
Never took it off. Not in the shower. Not when she slept. Not even at her wedding.
We called it superstition. She called it tradition.
She grew up wearing copper — the same way her mother did, and her mother before her.
"You stopped wearing copper, and started wondering why everything feels harder."
I dismissed it for years. Until I started looking at her — really looking — and realized she had lived differently than every other woman I knew.
She had what I think most of us have lost: a thing she put on every morning that tied her to her mother, her grandmother, and every woman who came before them. A small daily ritual. Three thousand years old. Passed hand to hand. Nothing to remember.
Her copper is on my wrist now.
Too late to tell her she was right. But not too late for you.
So We Started Making It Ourselves.
When our grandmother passed, her copper came to me. I went looking for another piece like it — and found nothing real. Everything was plated. Stamped out by the thousand. Brass wearing copper's face.
So our mother taught us what her mother taught her: how to shape solid copper by hand.
That's us — our mother in the middle, my sister and me. Three generations of one family, still making the thing our grandmother never took off.
Our mother still hammers the first piece of every batch. We're not a factory, and we never will be. Working by hand means we can only make a small batch at a time — no warehouse, no endless stock.
When a batch is gone, it's gone.
Start yours. One day it'll be on a wrist you love.

Frequently asked questions
I've tried copper jewelry before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
Almost certainly because what you wore before wasn't solid copper.
The vast majority of copper jewelry sold online is copper-plated — a thin coating over a base metal, which means almost no real copper contact with your skin.
Every piece in our collection is 100% pure copper all the way through.
No plating, no base metal, no coating. The difference between solid
copper and plated copper against skin is significant, and most people
notice it.
The other factor is consistency — pure copper is meant to be worn daily, not occasionally. Wear it every day for a month before you decide.

Does copper actually do anything?
I've been asked this for 40 years. Here's what I know:
Copper is an essential mineral the human body genuinely needs, and wearing it against the skin is a practice that predates modern medicine by
thousands of years.
I've never made promises to anyone. What I can tell you is that people who came to me at 55, 60, 65 keep coming back — year after year, decade after decade — without me ever having to explain why.
Whether you call that placebo or not, the people wearing my copper noticed
something they want to keep noticing. That's all I've ever needed to know.
Is there any scientific evidence?
Formal clinical studies have produced mixed results, and I won't pretend otherwise.
What I will say is this: copper has been worn against human skin for over 3,000 years across virtually every civilization on earth. Roman soldiers. Ayurvedic healers. Native American craftspeople. Generations of women who passed it down to their daughters, who passed it down to theirs.
They weren't running double-blind trials. They were wearing what their grandmothers wore.
My customers aren't scientists either — they're just people who tried everything else first.
Can I wear it in water, or in the shower?
Can I wear it in water, or in the shower?
Yes, you can.
Pure copper is naturally resilient — it has been worn by fishermen, farmers, and laborers through every kind of weather and water for centuries.
That said, a few things worth knowing:
- Saltwater and chlorine will accelerate the patina process — your piece will darken and age faster than it would with dry wear
- This is not damage. It is simply the copper responding to its environment, the way real metal does
- Prolonged or repeated exposure to chlorine pools may affect the surface finish over time
If you prefer to keep the original shine, rinse the piece with fresh water after swimming and pat dry. Otherwise — wear it freely. It's made to be lived in, not stored.
Is this just an overpriced piece of metal?
Copper is a base metal, yes.
What you're paying for is 100% pure material, crafted by hand, one piece at a time — and a standard we've never compromised on.
We've
kept full control over every piece in this collection because we
refused to cut corners for volume. No mass production. No plating. No
coatings.
Every piece is shaped, engraved, and finished by hand. When these are gone, there won't be more.
You can buy a copper-plated bracelet for a few dollars anywhere. This is something else.
How long does shipping take?

Do you offer a money-back guarantee? Question
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Full refund, no questions asked.
If a
piece isn't right for you for any reason — it doesn't fit, it's not
what you expected, or you simply changed your mind — send it back and
I'll refund you completely.
I've spent 40 years building trust with people I've never met. I'm not going to change that in my last collection.
