About the techniques and materials used in creating this piece:
Hand Forged - An artisan technique that is used to work harden soft metal through the use of a hammer an anvil, producing highly uniquely distinctive pieces.
Copper - In Ancient times, Copper was associated with the goddess Aphrodite/Venus in mythology and alchemy, owing to its lustrous beauty and its ancient use in producing mirrors. Although folk lore abounds with stories of how the wearing of copper helps ease the pain and discomfort of arthritis, you might want to order one just because it is a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Gold-Filled - ( abbreviated g.f.) is wire that has a layer of gold 10K gold (or higher...I use 14K) mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of a supporting base material (usually brass) and lasts up to 30+ years under normal wear conditions vs gold-plate with a wear of up to 3 years.
Aquamarine- Aquamarine is a stone of courage. Its calming energies reduce stress and quiet the mind. In ancient times it was believed to counteract the forces of darkness and procure favor from the spirits of light. |
