4 Reasons Women Have Worn Copper for 3,000 Years
A Tradition That
Predates Medicine
From Egyptian queens to Roman soldiers to Ayurvedic healers, copper has been worn against the skin for over 3,000 years — long before pharmacies existed.
Made for Daily Wear
Light enough to forget, heavy enough to feel. Our cuffs are hammered to be worn every day — in the shower, the garden, while you sleep — without ever taking them off.
Develops Your Patina
Real copper changes with you. Within weeks, your bracelet develops a patina unique to your skin — a quiet record of every day you've worn it. No two pieces ever look the same.
Heirloom by Hand
Each one hammered by hand in the Mae & Rose workshop. 99.9% pure copper, the same purity worn for centuries. No machines. No coatings.
The Story Behind Edith & Lily’s Copper
Every piece in this collection starts with the same intention: to be worn by someone who wants to carry something real.
For Edith, copper has always been more than just a material. For decades, she has shaped it by hand, carefully creating each piece with patience, love, and pride.
Then came her daughter, Lily.
What began as Edith’s passion became something much more meaningful when Lily joined her. A craft passed from mother to daughter. A tradition they now share together.
Copper has been worn close to the skin for thousands of years — by Egyptian queens, Roman soldiers, and generations of women before us. Edith and Lily carry that tradition forward in their small family workshop.
Because every piece has a story behind it.
The weight. The texture. The finish. Every detail matters. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is mass-produced.
Every piece is shaped by hand, one at a time, by Edith and Lily.
Two generations. One craft. A story you can carry with you.
There are only so many pieces they can make — and once they're gone, they're gone.

Frequently asked questions
I've tried copper jewelry before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
Almost certainly because what you wore before wasn't solid copper.
The vast majority of copper jewelry sold online is copper-plated — a thin coating over a base metal, which means almost no real copper contact with your skin.
Every piece in our collection is 100% pure copper all the way through. No plating, no base metal, no coating.
The other factor is consistency — pure copper is meant to be worn daily, not occasionally. Wear it every day for a month before you decide.

Does copper actually do anything?
I've been asked this for 40 years. Here's what I know:
Copper is an essential mineral the human body genuinely needs, and wearing it against the skin is a practice that predates modern medicine by thousands of years.
I've never made promises to anyone. What I can tell you is that people who came to me at 55, 60, 65 keep coming back — year after year, decade after decade.
Is there any scientific evidence?
Formal clinical studies have produced mixed results, and I won't pretend otherwise.
Copper has been worn against human skin for over 3,000 years across many cultures.
My customers aren't scientists either — they're just people who tried everything else first.
Can I wear it in water, or in the shower?
Yes, you can.
Pure copper is naturally resilient.
- Saltwater and chlorine will accelerate the patina process.
- This is not damage; it is the copper reacting naturally.
- Repeated chlorine exposure may affect the finish over time.
If you prefer the original shine, rinse it with fresh water after swimming and pat dry.
Is this just an overpriced piece of metal?
Copper is a base metal, yes.
What you're paying for is 100% pure material, crafted by hand, one piece at a time.
No mass production. No plating. No coatings.
Every piece is shaped, engraved, and finished by hand.
