This asymmetrical piece features a fully copper-encapsulated Fusinus fossil shell, Madagascar fossil sand dollar, and blue stone. The design's asymmetry and copper movement throughout reflect the organic nature of the sea.

Each piece from Timeless in Copper comprises unique earth-derived curiosities. We spend countless hours ethically and meticulously sourcing the organic objects we incorporate into our art. The copper plating on each piece is one-of-a-kind and nonreplicable, the product of our specialized manufacturing process, which takes over 16 hours per piece.

Kindly note: this piece has a lacquer coating to help prevent damage and preserve the copper patina before getting it to you. The protective finish is not permanent and will wear off. The clear finish coming off will not damage the piece.

You can let the copper be and allow it to begin to patina naturally. Steel wool, a copper polish pad, or a polish cloth can help bring back shine. You may also purchase a finishing lacquer, such as crystal clear enamel spray or a clear Rust-Oleum lacquer, and apply it to the piece to maintain its patina. Copper without a sealant may leave a green color on the skin, which is not harmful. There are specific jewelry seals that help prevent skin reactions to the metal.

Natural objects are fragile and can break if dropped. Wear with care. Avoid getting your piece wet if you wish to preserve the patina. If your jewelry comes in contact with salt water, rinse it with fresh water as soon as possible to avoid corrosion of the copper. We will not issue refunds for damaged pieces or a change of copper patina.
