Care & Storage — Sweet Copper Jewellery

Copper is a noble and expressive metal with a warm, living tone. It is valued not only for its aesthetic depth and texture, but also for the distinctive warmth it carries against the skin. In many cultures, copper has traditionally been associated with vitality and natural energy.

In Sweet Copper jewellery, the decorative layer is securely stabilised with a professional jewellery-grade protective coating, helping preserve colour and expressiveness with regular wear.

With careful handling and proper storage, the pieces retain their shape, depth of colour, and decorative finish for many years. Below you will find simple recommendations to help maintain their appearance and natural character.

Will the copper darken or change colour over time?

Copper naturally reacts to air and moisture; however, all Sweet Copper pieces are sealed after patination with a professional jewellery-grade protective lacquer.

This coating protects the metal from contact with air, moisture, and skin, helping the colour and decorative finish remain stable with normal wear.

If the piece gradually loses some of its original shine, simply wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth (microfibre or flannel). Additional cleaning products are not recommended.

How should I properly care for Sweet Copper jewellery?

Sweet Copper pieces are sealed with a professional jewellery-grade protective lacquer and do not require special maintenance.

To maintain their appearance, simply wipe the piece occasionally with a soft dry cloth (microfibre or flannel).

Abrasive materials and chemical cleaning products are not recommended.

Store your jewellery separately from other accessories to preserve the decorative finish and avoid possible scratches caused by contact with other metals.

Is an allergic reaction possible?

I understand that this question is especially important for people with sensitive skin, which is why material selection is a key priority for Sweet Copper.

Chains, clasps, and findings are made from stainless steel, a material generally considered hypoallergenic and well tolerated even by those with increased metal sensitivity.

The decorative part of each piece is coated with a professional jewellery-grade protective lacquer that creates a reliable barrier between the metal and the skin. As a result, direct contact between copper and skin is prevented.

Throughout the years, cases of allergic reactions have been extremely rare.

If you have a strong metal allergy, please contact me in advance — I can offer alternative options (such as a waxed cord or organza ribbon) to fully eliminate metal contact with the skin.

How durable is Sweet Copper jewellery?

Each piece is created on a copper base — a strong metal that maintains its shape under normal wear. After electroforming, the piece gains additional rigidity and structural stability.

Sweet Copper jewellery is designed for regular use and is not fragile.

Strong impact or deformation may damage the decorative finish, so pieces should be protected from significant mechanical stress to preserve their original appearance.

Can Sweet Copper jewellery be worn every day?

Sweet Copper jewellery is designed for everyday wear and regular use.

With proper handling, the pieces maintain their shape and decorative finish.

To keep them looking their best for years to come, it is recommended to remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or engaging in intense physical activity.

Wear with pleasure and be beautiful.
