Copper Findings

Findings are all those little bits that you need to make up your jewellery, earring wires and studs, clips, clasps. Copper has a special look all it's own. Combine it with turquoise for a rich, ethnic look. Or with just about anything if you want something a little different. Some people feel that it has theraputic value, and we say, "if your jewelry looks good, you feel good and that is therapy enough for us!"

Most of our copper beads and findings are copper-plated brass.  However, the 2, 3 and 4mm round beads, small swirly copper beads and 2" bright copper headpins are pure copper. They have a non-tarnish coating, and do not go green with wear. They do not need cleaning and should never be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner or solvents, as this will remove the coating.
