Copper in Today's Fashion Jewelry


Copper has been known to man for a few thousand years now. It has wide and far reaching applications in our day to day lives. Copper is also used to create artistic copper pendants and other beautiful jewelry. As a metal, copper is relatively easy to work with because it is ductile and malleable and can be easily fashioned into a wide variety to forms and shapes. The color of copper compliments a wide variety of precious and semi precious stones. The copper pendant shown in the picture above for example, has a large unakite stone as the focal bead. The stone is greenish in color with shades of red and pink. This colorful stone matches the copper setting perfectly, and together they create a large pendant – about 3 inches long – that is unique, trendy and inexpensive.
