Notes on Copper

product, musingsLarkin HamiltonComment

And now for a random note on copper from Larkin's Chem-nerd mum. ;)We found claims on several jewelry sites that wearing copper against the skin allows your body to absorb copper if needed AND it will only turn your skin green when a copper deficiency is no longer present. A little research has convinced us that science does not back this claim. Elemental copper can not be absorbed by the human body and no form of copper can be absorbed through the skin. Idle Talons jewelry may make you feel wonderful, but not because it’s curing a copper deficiency!

For more information on taking care of copper jewelry, and avoiding green skin, we've added a page to the website:https://www.idletalons.com/copper-care

What's in a Name?

productLarkin HamiltonComment

These gleaming wire-wrapped beauties reminded our naming committee <cough> of seedlings from the plant in Little Shop of Horrors! Copper wire is wrapped, hammered, oxidized and polished. Bead is a faceted glass drop. Each earring measures 2.3 cm long, not including the earring hook, and 1.6 cm at its widest point. These will be made to order and may vary (very!) slightly from the photo. Audrey II drops are $20 at www.IdleTalons.com
