Looking for something bold yet simple? Something that doesn't just sit there but actually says something? This 4mm Chased Copper Bypass Ring is exactly that. Made by hand from solid raw copper in John S. Brana’s San Francisco studio, it’s one of those pieces you end up reaching for more than you thought you would. It has that perfect not-trying-too-hard feel but still makes people stop and notice.
Why You’ll Want to Wear It – Or Gift It
Actually, this ring works for a lot of people. If you love handmade jewelry that doesn’t look like everything else on Instagram, you’re gonna like this. And if you're shopping for your wife’s 7th anniversary gift (copper is the traditional material), she’ll love how personal this piece feels.
It’s not flashy. It’s not fussy. But it looks good with anything. Wear it solo or stack it with other bands. It has that worn-in, lived-in kind of cool. That’s because every ring is hand chased — meaning the lines are hammered in one by one. No two are exactly the same.

When and How to Wear It
This ring’s easy. Really. You can wear it:
- With a chunky knit sweater and jeans
- Alongside your favorite copper cuff
- At work, at brunch, or barefoot on the weekend
- Dressed up or totally casual
It’s one of those pieces that plays nice with just about anything. But because of its raw copper makeup, it’ll also change with you. Over time, it darkens and can even leave a little green on your skin. Some people don’t get it, some do. It depends on your body chemistry.
💡 Fun fact: That green stain? Totally harmless. Just soap and water takes it off. Some people even believe the copper gets absorbed by the skin — here’s a whole blog post about that.
Heads Up About Copper
Before you hit that checkout button, here’s something to know. Raw copper reacts. With sweat, lotions, even the air. It might:
- Turn brown, green, or bluish-green over time
- Stain your skin (especially under humid or sweaty conditions)
- Develop a natural patina that adds character
And honestly? That’s part of the charm. It doesn’t stay shiny and perfect. It gets better the more you wear it.
Just don’t expect a refund because it turns your finger green. That’s kind of the point.
