Vintage Solid Copper Cuff Bracelet c. 1970's

Because of its attractive color and malleability, copper was used in jewelry from the earliest times. The earliest known item of copper jewelry goes back to the 8th millennium BC and even today, copper is a popularly used metal in jewelry.

The beauty of copper is in its earthy color. Over time, as it is subject to wear, copper jewelry changes color from a shiny earthy brown to a deeper, more golden brown.

In terms of symbology, copper has been connected to love and luck. It is thought to assist in communication and balance and to promote healing.
