Hammered copper bracelet with open ends, handmade, deep hand-forged texture

The moon above my workshop gave this bracelet its name. Thousands of hammer blows on the anvil have pressed the surface into countless small craters, like a river stone shaped by water over many years. No pattern repeats itself, because I place each individual strike by hand and never aim the same way twice. The piece has real weight and, almost without you noticing, encourages you to slow your pace throughout the day. People have been wearing copper on the forearm for more than three thousand years, and I have never wanted to change that tradition.

Why you'll love it:

• Deep hammer marks, each one hand-struck on the anvil
• No two pieces are the same in their deeply hammered pattern
• A tangible weight that rests calmly and firmly against bare skin
• Dark recesses and brightly polished high points that develop over the years

Material: 99.9% pure copper. The metal darkens first in the recesses, creating the interplay of bright highlights and deep shadows.
