The John S. Brana Handmade Copper Jewelry collection features hundreds of beautiful styles that show off the gorgeous color of genuine copper. As you begin to browse the styles in our collection, you'll be introduced to a whole new set of terminology that is used to describe our various handmade copper jewelry pieces. Here is a quick guide to five of the terms that you'll encounter most frequently.

- Hammering - Hammering is a technique that is just what you might expect from its name. It involves using a special jewelry hammer to pound the surface of a piece of copper or other precious metal. This creates a sort of rippled texture along the metal. In the light, hammered metal seems to shimmer due to the texturing effect. Some striking examples that show off the effects of hammering include out Hammered Copper Cuff Bracelet, and our Hammered Copper Scarf Ring.


 

- Embossing - Embossing is a texturing technique that can create a wide variety of effects on copper jewelry. When metal is embossed, a hand tool is used to stamp various sections of the metal, creating a relief texture. In the design of our Bubble Embossed Copper Disc Earrings, copper sheet is embossed with round shapes for a bubbling effect. On the Feather Embossed Copper Earrings, the embossing takes the shape of wavy lines to mimic the texture of a feather.




- Chasing - Chasing is a type of embossing that involves stamping the metal to create deep, thin grooves in straight lines. Chased copper jewelry is very shiny and can even seem to sparkle in the light. You can see this effect on pieces like our Chased Copper Drop Earrings and our Chased Copper Earrings with Garnets.




- Anticlastic Raising - Anticlastic raising is a technique that involves turning the edges of a piece of metal up and inward. On pieces like our Hammered Anticlastic Copper Cuff and our Anticlastic Copper Earrings, this folding is used to give the metal a curved look with areas of light that show on its surface. By making other modifications to the jewelry, anticlastic folds can be used to create shapes, such as the slender leaf forms of our Anticlastic Leaf Copper Earrings.




- Corrugated Folding - Corrugating is another method of folding that provides a very different look than the anticlastic folding technique. Copper that has been corrugated has a wavy or wrinkled appearance, as you can see on pieces like our Corrugated Copper Bangle and our Corrugated Copper Leaf Earrings. A piece can also be folded in two directions to create a braided texture like that of our Corrugated Copper Cuff.

Browse our entire selection of styles to find more examples of hammered copper jewelry, embossed copper jewelry, chased copper jewelry, anticlastic copper jewelry and corrugated copper jewelry.

Colorful earrings can put a whole new look on an ensemble, adding interest to simple, solid-colored pieces or bringing out hues in outfits that combine multiple colors. Many women wear gemstone earrings to get that pop of color, but if you don't want to add sparkle to your outfit, these looks just aren't right.

Patinated copper earrings are the perfect alternative to gemstone jewelry, as they have a matte, earthy look yet are still colorful. Unlike painted metal jewelry, patinated copper earrings have been exposed to a process that naturally causes the precious metal to turn. This means the color won't flake off over the years and that no two pairs of the earrings are ever identical. At John S. Brana Handmade Jewelry, our patinated copper earrings are finished with a protective clear coating to enhance their durability even more. Here are six of our favorite pairs of patinated copper earrings:

1. Red Patinated Tear Drop Earrings - Measuring 4 inches in length by 1/4-inch in width, these Red Patinated Tear Drop Earrings add drama and color to an ensemble. The long, slender shape of the red and copper earrings helps to elongate the face and makes them a perfect finish for a ponytail or up-do.
   
   
   
   

2. Apple Green Patinated Earrings - Bright apple green makes these lovely earrings a true standout style. The Apple Green Patinated Earrings are a play on the traditional tear drop with cut out centers to add to their appeal. The earrings are 2-3/4 inches long by 1-1/4 inches wide.
   
   
   
   

3. Small Blue Patinated Copper Tear Drop Earrings - These earrings feature a bold royal blue color but are just 2-1/2 inches long by 3/4 inches wide. The dainty size makes the earrings subtle and perfect for both day and evening wear.
   
   
   
   

4. Fold Formed Apple Green Copper Leaf Earrings - No matter what the season, the Fold Formed Apple Green Copper Leaf Earrings will have you thinking of spring. The 2-3/4-inch by 1/2-inch earrings are shaped like leaves and meticulously hand textured to give the illusion of veins running along their surfaces.
   
   
   
   

5. Fold Formed Blue Patinated Leaf Earrings - These elongated oval earrings are incredibly simple but have a bold pop of blue green color that instantly catches the eye. The earrings are 4 inches long by 1 1/8 inches wide and will complement outfits in a wide variety of colors.
   
   
   
   

6. Large Maroon Patinated Lily Pad Earrings - These earrings combine deep maroon with flecks of green to bring the organic shape of a lily pad to vivid life. At 3 inches by 2 inches in size, the earrings are large enough to get noticed but are still light in weight for comfortable wear day or night.
