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.
