Do you like copper?
I have a bountiful knowledge about metals, like copper which I would like to share with you. From the view of an artisan, I find the metal copper extraordinary and I would like to tell you why. So please bear with me...while I journey back into my past.

It was the year 1980 in the country of Germany, I was in high school 9th grade in Metal Workshop Class. I loved this class. I remember it like it was yesterday. I got to work with tools, like hammers and saws. The assignment of that month was to design and create a candle holding dish with the material of your choosing. I chose copper. I never thought of copper as something special until I discovered through the process of sanding and polishing that the candle stand just glistened in the color of rose gold. My love for copper was born, but It was not until later on in life, in 2016 when I actually started to work with copper again and my love for it grew. I started to design and sell copper jewelry.
NOW TO SOME FACTS
Copper is a material that can be recycled continuously. Wood, on the other hand, another natural resource, wears out and becomes weak and falls apart over time. However, copper maintains its integrity throughout continuous recycling and can be reused over and over again for multiple things. Today some copper roofs are made of up to 75-percent recycled material from which one of them is copper all over the world.
DID YOU KNOW?
Gold in its purest form is so soft that it can easily be shaped by hands, which is the reason why we add copper to gold, not only for the color (more copper content created Rosegold) but also for the stability.EvenTwenty-four-carat gold contains copper!
In part 2, among other things, I will discuss possible health benefits.
