Copper is a versatile metal and popular in jewellery due to its ductility and unmistakable warm red colour. Often used pure or as a component of alloys such as red gold and bronze, copper confers unique shades and structural characteristics that improve the workability and durability of jewellery.
Thanks to its excellent malleability, copper is ideal for the creating of refined details, while its ability to develop natural patinas makes it perfect for original and distinctive designs. In addition, copper is ideal for plating or enamelling treatments, expanding the creative possibilities for jewellers.
