FINAL COPPER COLLECTION

Our handcrafted pure copper pieces are selling quickly during our Retirement Sale.
If you can still press 'Add to Cart', your piece is still available.

Some pieces announce themselves the moment you put them on. I made these hoops for the women who have stopped apologizing for taking up space - each one cut from copper sheet, shaped by hand into its wide crescent form, then hammered across the full surface one strike at a time until the metal holds the memory of every blow.

Copper has been worn close to the skin for thousands of years by women who needed to feel grounded in their own bodies, and the ones who come back to me always say the same thing: they stopped noticing what they used to notice.

These are among the last earrings I'll make before I close my workshop for good. I hope they find the ears that are ready to be seen.

Product Details

Crafted from 99.9% pure copper and designed to become a timeless part of your everyday jewellery collection.

Inspired by centuries of traditional copper jewellery, with every piece made to showcase the natural beauty of real copper.

Is It Real Copper?

This is real copper. Every piece is crafted from 99.9% pure copper — never plated and never mixed with cheap metals.

Test it yourself the moment it arrives. Pure copper isn't magnetic. If your piece doesn't pass the copper test, we'll give you a full refund.

That's how confident we are in every piece.

Copper Care

Real copper naturally develops character and patina over time — one of the signs you're wearing genuine copper.

Simply polish it gently with a soft cloth whenever you want to restore its original shine.

Copper Has Always Been Part of Our Family

Long before Dorothy & Mae existed, copper was already part of our family.

Her mother wore the same copper pieces every day — not for special occasions, but simply because they became part of her.

That tradition inspired Dorothy & Mae: pure copper, no plating, no coatings — made to be worn and loved for years.

After more than 10 years in our Sydney boutique, Dorothy is now retiring.

This is our final copper collection. Once these pieces are gone, they won’t be made again.

With love, Dorothy & Mae 🤍

Here's what our customers say

Excellent 4.7/5

More than 2346+ reviews

“I was skeptical for years. My daughter finally convinced me to try it. Three weeks in, I stopped waking up with that stiffness in my fingers. I don't know exactly why. I just know I haven't taken it off.”

“Bought it for my joints, stayed for everything else. My circulation feels better. My hands feel warmer in the morning. I bought one for my sister two weeks later.”

“I bought those earrings expecting to wear them occasionally. It's now the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off. They just became part of me.”

“I came in looking for a dress, but these copper earrings immediately caught my eye. I loved that they were real copper rather than just another plated pair, and they’re light enough to wear all day. I’ve worn them almost every day since.''

"I love how easy these pieces are to wear. They add just the right touch, feel beautifully made, and make me feel put together every time."

“I originally bought it because I loved the look, but I’ve also found myself reaching for my copper bracelet on days when my wrists feel a little stiff. It’s comfortable, lightweight and easy to wear all day — and I get compliments on it all the time.”

Frequently asked questions

Almost certainly because what you wore before wasn't solid copper.
The vast majority of copper jewelry sold online is copper-plated — a thin coating over a base metal, which means almost no real copper contact with your skin.
Every piece in our collection is 100% pure copper all the way through. No plating, no base metal, no coating. The difference between solid copper and plated copper against skin is significant, and most people notice it.
The other factor is consistency — pure copper is meant to be worn daily, not occasionally. Wear it every day for a month before you decide.
Pure copper naturally develops a patina over time. To restore the shine, clean it gently with lemon and salt or white vinegar and salt, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Avoid prolonged contact with chlorine, saltwater, perfume, and harsh chemicals.
I've been asked this for 40 years. Here's what I know:
Copper is an essential mineral the human body genuinely needs, and wearing it against the skin is a practice that predates modern medicine by thousands of years.
I've never made promises to anyone. What I can tell you is that people who came to me at 55, 60, 65 keep coming back — year after year, decade after decade — without me ever having to explain why.
Whether you call that placebo or not, the people wearing my copper noticed something they want to keep noticing. That's all I've ever needed to know.
Formal clinical studies have produced mixed results, and I won't pretend otherwise.
What I will say is this: copper has been worn against human skin for over 3,000 years across virtually every civilization on earth. Roman soldiers. Ayurvedic healers. Native American craftspeople. Generations of women who passed it down to their daughters, who passed it down to theirs.
They weren't running double-blind trials. They were wearing what their grandmothers wore.
My customers aren't scientists either — they're just people who tried everything else first.
Yes, you can.
Pure copper is naturally resilient — it has been worn by fishermen, farmers, and laborers through every kind of weather and water for centuries.
That said, a few things worth knowing:
- Saltwater and chlorine will accelerate the patina process — your piece will darken and age faster than it would with dry wear.
- This is not damage. It is simply the copper responding to its environment, the way real metal does.
- Prolonged or repeated exposure to chlorine pools may affect the surface finish over time.
If you prefer to keep the original shine, rinse the piece with fresh water after swimming and pat dry. Otherwise, wear it freely. It's made to be lived in, not stored.
Copper is a base metal, yes.
What you're paying for is 100% pure material, crafted by hand, one piece at a time — and a standard we've never compromised on.
We've kept full control over every piece in this collection because we refused to cut corners for volume. No mass production. No plating. No coatings.
Every piece is shaped, engraved, and finished by hand. When these are gone, there won't be more.
You can buy a copper-plated bracelet for a few dollars anywhere. This is something else.

If a piece isn't right for you for any reason — it doesn't fit, it's not what you expected, or you simply changed your mind — send it back and I'll refund you completely.
I've spent 10 years building trust with people I've never met. I'm not going to change that in my last collection.
