I craft my pieces from various types of wire, including sterling silver,
bare copper, non-tarnish silver plated copper, and 14k gold fill. I
then add high quality beads, usually Swarovski crystal or Czech
glass, or semi-precious stones my creations. I especially enjoy
working with copper and making copper bracelets. Many people
wear copper for its potential health value, especially in regard to
arthritis. While more extensive research is needed to prove it has
any therapeutic value, for those who do wear copper for this
purpose, my natural copper bracelets are a lovely alternative to the
more widely available copper bands. Some of my copper bracelets
may be seen on my bracelet page and at my Etsy gallery.
