Some things you just feel the moment you put them on.

I made this piece for the days when your joints remind you they've been working, the feather is hand-engraved, each barb traced one at a time with a tool I've had for thirty years.

Copper has been worn against the skin for thousands of years by people who needed their joints to keep up with their lives, and the ones who come back to me always say the same thing: they stopped noticing what they used to notice in their wrists.

This is one of the last bracelets I'll make before I close my workshop for good. I hope it finds the wrist that needs it most.

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.
