Patricia's Coil Copper Anklet
Patricia's Coil Copper Anklet
What My Customers Are Saying
I've been drawing spirals since I was a girl. On the margins of school notebooks, in the dust on my father's workbench, on scraps of copper I wasn't supposed to touch yet. There's something about that shape that the hand wants to make naturally. Something old in it that doesn't need explaining.
This anklet starts at the center of the spiral and works outward — one continuous copper strip, coiled by hand, round after round, until it reaches the edge and meets the band I shape separately and curve gently so it follows the ankle the way it should. Flush. Comfortable. Like it belongs there.
The women who've worn copper at the ankle talk about their knees differently. Their feet. The joints that spend all day bearing the weight of everything above them and rarely get thanked for it. I don't make promises. But I've heard the same thing from enough women over fifty years that I stopped being surprised by it a long time ago.
This is one of the last anklets to come out of my Coalgate workshop. The spiral that started in the margins of a young girl's notebook ended up here — finished, ready, looking for the ankle it was always meant for.
Material: 99.9% Pure Copper
Most of what gets sold as copper jewelry online is plated — a thin copper wash over steel or brass that looks right in a photograph and feels wrong the moment it's in your hand. It fades. It doesn't work. And it gives real copper a reputation it doesn't deserve.
Here's the test I tell everyone to do the day their order arrives:
Pull a magnet off your refrigerator. Hold it against the piece. Real copper has no iron in it — a magnet won't respond to it at all. If it sticks even a little, it's not pure copper. Send me a photo and I'll refund you on the spot, no back-and-forth needed.
Mine has never failed that test in fifty years. I don't expect it to start now.
These pieces are already made. Every one of them was shaped by my hands in the workshop here in Coalgate — finished and ready, waiting for the right person.
When you order, I pack it myself, wrap it carefully, and get it out the door within 1 to 3 business days. No waiting on production. Just one of the last pieces I'll ever make, on its way to you.
Pure copper changes with wear — it darkens, deepens, takes on a warmth that the bright new finish doesn't have. Most of my long-time customers prefer it that way. They say it starts to look like theirs.
When you want to bring the shine back, mix a little lemon juice with a pinch of table salt. Rub it gently over the surface, rinse with warm water, dry it well. That's all it takes. Nothing special. Nothing you don't already have in your kitchen.
