There is a quiet steadiness to a string of beads that wraps around your wrist

I shaped each solid copper bead by hand, acid-etching the warm striped texture so they catch the light like the rugged bark of an old tree.

Men and women have worn copper against their skin for thousands of years, and there is something about the weight of these beads resting on your arm that just feels right.

This is one of the last beaded pieces I’ll make before I close my workshop. I hope it finds the right wrist.

99.9% pure copper — never plated, never hollow

Handmade in Wicklow, Ireland

Final Collection — once it's gone, it's gone
PRODUCT DETAILS

Handforged from 99.9% pure copper in Rita's workshop in Wicklow, Ireland. Every piece is shaped individually with a hammer and anvil, so small variations in texture are part of the process, not a flaw. Comes in a soft cotton pouch.

HOW DO I KNOW IF IT'S REAL COPPER?

Real copper is heavier than plated metal and warms quickly against your skin. Genuine copper will naturally develop a patina over time — a gradual darkening or warming of tone with wear. If a piece never changes color at all, it likely isn't solid copper.

COPPER CARE

To keep the shine: wipe with a soft cloth after wearing, and clean occasionally with a mix of lemon juice and salt, or a dedicated copper polish. Prefer the natural look? Just wear it, many people love the deeper patina copper develops on its own over time. Avoid harsh chemicals and long soaks in water.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

Every piece ships from Ireland. For full details on delivery times and costs, see our Shipping Policy.

4 Things to Know About Rita's Copper

A Tradition Worth Continuing

People have worn copper against their skin for thousands of years. It's a small, simple tradition Rita continues by hand, one piece at a time.

Made for Daily Wear

Light enough to forget you're wearing it, sturdy enough for daily life. Made to be worn, not kept in a drawer.

Develops Its Own Patina

Real copper changes with wear — a warm, gradual patina unique to your skin. No two pieces ever look the same after a few months.

Made by Hand, Piece by Piece

No machines, no molds. Rita shapes every piece herself, in her workshop in Wicklow — and once this collection sells out, it won't be remade.
