Copper Beads

We've moved the copper and copper-plated beads onto their own page - the matching findings are here. The "bright" copper items are solid copper, the others are copper over a base metal, usually brass. Some people swear by the healing properties of copper. Here, we feel that any pretty thing that makes you happy has the power to heal!
