Item details

This striking nature worn Copper slag accessory has been hand wrapped with Nickel plated textured Copper wire and Silver soldered joints.

We used a combination of patinating and Nickel plating on the Copper wire to create our desired effect (Nickel imparts a durable, shiny finish). The Copper is not varnished and overtime the patina will change, this beautiful property of Copper means that your piece will take on individual characteristics, telling its own story of how it has been used.

Most of the items in our shop are handmade, one-of-kind or unique and this piece is no exception. Copper slag is a by-product of the Copper ore smelting process, the pieces can range from a dark black colour through dark grey to a more copper-brown colour. Some have a glass-like appearance; some have a ropy textured surface and some appear more pitted; we did a little research and discovered these differences depend on how quickly the Copper slag was cooled.

Dimensions: Approximately 59mm x 30mm x 22mm across widest points
Weight : Approximately 36g

This accessory may be fragile so we recommend careful use.

We like nothing better than to be in our little workshop creating things like this unusual Copper slag accessory which could be used as a keyring, a bag charm or anything else you can think of. We collect the nature worn Copper slag ourselves from Cornish beaches and quaysides, areas famous for the smelting of Copper ore in the 18th and 19th centuries; so each piece is a little bit of history! The Copper slag pieces have been naturally worn by the sand and sea and have varying degrees of weathering and we individually hand-wrap each one with Copper wire or Copper band.

We have provided photographs with different lighting and of different angles in an effort to give as much of a view of the piece as possible. Please have a good look through all of them and if you have the time we would appreciate you having a browse through the other products we offer in our shop.

Thank you, we really appreciate the time you have taken to visit our shop and hope you come back soon!
