Copper Care
Real copper is made to be lived in, not stored. Wear it. Sleep in it. Shower in it.
Daily wear
Pure copper is naturally resilient - it has been worn by fishermen, farmers, and laborers through every kind of weather and water for centuries. 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.
Restoring the shine
If you prefer the original shine, polish with lemon juice and a pinch of salt on a soft cloth, rinse with fresh water and pat dry. Otherwise, wear it freely and let it develop the patina that is unique to your skin.
