About the Artist - John S. Brana
For over 20 years, artisan John S. Brana has been handcrafting unique jewelry in his studio in San Francisco. The craftsmanship in each handmade creation is readily apparent in the intricate details. One of a kind textures are achieved using Hammers, stakes and other traditional jewelry making tools along with some improvised household objects when needed.
The uncoated finishes and oxidizing metal surfaces showcase the natural patinas of the materials like copper, brass and bronze over time. And no two will age exactly the same due to the hand techniques.
This alligator bracelet is created from pure copper bar that is cut, textured, and formed into the finished cuff shape. The uncoated copper will age gracefully over time adding to the character.
Caring for Your Copper Jewelry
Copper will undergo an oxidation process when in prolonged contact with human skin. The level varies based on individual body chemistry.
As oxidation occurs, you may notice some temporary skin discoloration and the copper takes on a greenish hue over time. Neither are harmful, but some people prefer limiting exposure.
Here are some tips for caring for copper jewelry:
Minimal wear
- Avoid 24/7 wear - take off before bed
- Allow skin breaks throughout day
Clean regularly
- Gently polish with a jewelers cloth
- Wash periodically with mild soap and water
Storage
- Keep jewelry in zip lock or anti-tarnish bags or pouches
- For extended storage you can use anti-tarnish strips
With occasional care, your copper jewelry will maintain its beauty and last for years to come!
