Using the copper electroforming technique, copper electrolytes are deposited over hours in a copper-acid solution, resulting in organic textures that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each pendant symbolizes love and carries a deep sense of meaning.
Please be aware that the colour of copper darkens over time, and the item can be cleaned using a sachet of Copperbrite and a soft cloth. (Available here)
Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.
About Green Garnet:
Garnets come in a wide variety of colours and although the most famous colour is deep red, some popular species include the green garnet. These belong to the andradite and grossular garnets.
There are two species that fall under the grossular garnets, the Tsavorite that features a chrome green colour and the Grossularite that is yellow green in colour. The term grossular derives from the botanical name for gooseberries, which is grossularia, in reference to its colour.
