Copper Isn’t Just Pretty. It’s A Whole Mood!

-

Copper has this warm glow that feels… alive. Not flashy. Not cold. Just rich, earthy, and kind of magnetic.

What I love about copper

  • It looks good on everybody. Copper plays especially nice with melanin, like it was minding its business waiting on us.

  • It evolves. Copper can darken over time and develop patina, which means your ring starts to tell a story.

  • It feels grounded. It’s giving vintage, ancient, heirloom adjacent energy.

P.S. If you want to snag this copper spiral ring, it’s available in my Payhip shop


The patina conversation (aka: “Is it supposed to change?”)

Yes ma'am. Copper can naturally shift with wear, air, lotion, and your personal chemistry.

If you like it bright and shiny:

  • wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing


  • store it dry (little pouch or jewelry box)

  • keep it away from water when you can

If you like it moody and aged:

  • wear it often and let it deepen naturally

  • think “antique warmth” not “perfect polish”


This is probably the wildest fact about copper: It is naturally germ-phobic. It has this

 property called the "oligodynamic effect," which is just a fancy way of saying it kills

 bacteria and viruses on contact.

  • Fun Fact: If you have a brass or copper doorknob, it practically sanitizes itself within a couple of hours👀

  • Why it matters: This is why so many old-school hospitals and public buildings used brass fixtures...they were fighting germs before they even knew what germs were🏥



What makes this one special to me is the balance. It’s simple copper wire, but

the finished piece reads like a rose-meets-spiral symbol...soft and strong at the

same time. And because it’s handmade, the spiral isn’t factory perfect… it’s got

personality, like it belongs to a real person with a real life.






Copper has a way of feeling personal, like it’s not just jewelry, it’s a little piece of you

that gets better with time. 

If you want this spiral ring in your size (or you like your copper extra shiny or extra moody), you can grab it on my Payhip shop. 

Love & Light

Angela

This Ring is Giving Congressional Energy

  I wasn’t trying to make a political statement when I crafted this ring, but art reflects the times. And baby, these times are twisted .  I was just in my flow, twisting and wrapping  my favorite wire  😊 like I always do...letting my fingers guide me, trusting the tension and the release. No sketch. No blueprint. Just instinct. But when I stepped back and looked at the final piece, I had to laugh. Because somehow, this delicate knot of silver wire looks like the perfect metaphor for what we’re all living through right now. If you want a little chaos on YOUR finger... Treat Yourself A government so tangled, it’s hard to tell where the loop begins or ends. Each wire in this ring represents a decision, a voice, a consequence. Some turns are tight, some loose. Some wrap perfectly around others, while a few jut out like they don’t know what direction they’re headed. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Right now, every headline feels like another twist. Anothe...

A Matriarchal Mystery

  Okay, so I was sitting here thinking more about that whole “all the women in my family had their first babies at 19” thing...I realized something that gave me full-body chills. I was wrong. Kind of. See, at first, I thought the number 19 was tied to the firstborn child in every generation. But when I looked closer, it wasn’t about firstborns at all. It was about firstborn daughters. Let me explain. My grandmother had a baby before she had my mom. A boy. He died in infancy. I never met him, but I always knew about him. Her second child, my mama, was born when my grandma was 19. My mama? She gave birth to my brother just one month before her 19th birthday . So technically, she was 18. And I wasn’t the firstborn. I wasn’t the one who kept the pattern going. The 19 didn’t land on me. But here’s where it gets spooky. My sister had a baby girl at 19. That girl, my niece,  had a baby girl at 19. And that girl had her baby girl…at 19. That’s three generations of wo...

It’s a feeling. A whisper back to yourself. A moment to remember where you came from, what you carry, a...
