On wearing copper…
People ask about the health benefits of wearing copper:
Copper is recognized as an essential element for the functioning of healthy cells, cardiovascular system, nervous system and antioxidant among other benefits. In few cases copper is not recommended and can be toxic if it is not metabolized and eliminated properly and is allowed to accumulate to toxic levels. Consult a physician if you have any concerns.

…about the stains on skin:
Copper particularly tarnishes in the summer as the heat, humidity and pollution increases. A greenish color may appear on your skin while wearing copper jewellery. The green color is copper being slowly dissolved from copper jewellery and can be easily washed off. For those individuals wearing copper for arthritis this is exactly what they want to see.

…about the stains on fabrics:
White and light colour fabrics might pick up the green from the copper, but using bleach according to the washing instructions will remove it.


…about cleaning copper:
Put a couple of tablespoons of lemon or lime juice in a small container and add a teaspoon of regular table salt to the juice.  Now drop in your item and swirl it around.  The tarnish is gone instantly and your jewellery is bright and shinny.  Be sure to rinse the jewelry well or clean off the salt with some gentle cleanser and then rinse it. Your jewelry will sparkle

Since 1998 I was working with Marie Van Schie perparing and forming the materials from salvaged materials to be used for her designs. The pieces were sold at the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario gift shops. Several of the designs were for the most part mine with some suggestions from Marie. I have included  some pages, "Collaborations", of her designs which are still available for sale.
