In Short

Copper necklaces here are hammered and chased link chains, made by hand in 22 to 26 inch lengths, with clear coated links and clasps.

What Is This Collection?

A copper link necklace is built entirely from individual copper links formed and joined by hand, so the metal itself carries the design rather than a pendant or stones. Every piece is handcrafted by John S. Brana in his San Francisco studio.

What This Collection Includes

Hammered and chased copper link chain necklaces with graduated link sizes, finished with a clear non-toxic polymer coating on links and clasps.

How the pieces differ

They differ by length, by link size and rhythm, and by whether the surface is hammered for scattered shine or chased for finer lines.

Who this collection suits

Anyone who wants a warm metal statement necklace, 7th and 22nd anniversary gift buyers, and people who prefer metal to gemstones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Will a copper necklace tarnish?

These have a clear non-toxic polymer coating on the links and clasps, which resists tarnish and keeps the copper bright for years.

Q2. What length should I choose?

22 inches sits just below the collarbone and suits crew necks. 26 inches falls to the upper chest, which suits open collars and layering.

Q3. Will copper mark my neck?

The coating means the metal does not sit directly against the skin, so marking is far less likely than with raw copper.

Q4. How do I clean a copper chain?

Wipe it with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry it. Avoid abrasive polishes and harsh chemicals, which damage the protective coating.
