AN EXPLORATION IN COPPER

Brazier Moon is an eclectic mix of sustainable art and jewelry, utilizing mostly salvaged and recycled copper. Artist, designer, and owner, Amber Clarkson, creates all pieces by hand with love and intention, envisioning her main muse, Mother Moon and her many phases. Amber incorporates a wide array of semi-precious gemstones into her work, and due to the many transformational stages copper takes on through chemical and elemental reactions from the atmosphere, no two pieces will ever be alike, rendering every artifact she makes one-of-a-kind. Amber’s studio is located in Rising Fawn, Georgia, atop Lookout Mountain, a narrow southwestern ridge of the Cumberland Plateau and a segment of the Appalachian Mountains.

    AFTERCARE

    Do not wear jewelry when exposed to any kind of chemical. ( Hairspray, Perfume, Lotion, Bleach, Cleaning Products, etc.)

    Copper tarnishes faster than other metals when exposed to everyday elements. (Air, Heat, Humidity, etc.)

    If you love for your copper to have a weathered, patina look, let it do is thing.

    If you like to keep your copper clean and shiny:

    *Avoid getting copper wet

    *Do not shower, workout, or swim in your jewelry

    *Do not sleep in your jewelry

    *Store jewelry in an airtight bag in a cool, dry environment (NOT THE BATHROOM)

  • Copper reacts slowly with oxygen in the air - oxidation. This process produces copper oxide, a brown or black compound, or what we call tarnish. Other chemicals in the atmosphere will eventually turn the tarnish blue or green, creating a patina.

    Copper jewelry has the tendency to leave enzymes in the form of green stains on the body, which are totally harmless and can easily be washed off with soap and water.

    Whether or not you skin turns green is solely dependent on your individual body chemistry.

    Green stains on the skin occur mostly when wearing rings, and are believed to have healing effects on the body since copper is an essential mineral in the body. But if these stains are too bothersome, you can prevent this by applying a coat of clear fingernail polish to the area of the copper that comes into contact with the skin. Reapplication will be required ever so often.
