Twisted Copper Key Ring Holder with Oxidized Finish
Twisted Copper Key Ring Holder by Turner Duncan Jewelry Designs. Designed for the open side to be slipped onto a belt loop, purse strap, pack strap, gym bag - the possibilities are numerous! Made from pure, copper rod which is hammered for shaping, then heated and twisted for unique texture. Ends hand hammered, then the entire piece is heated and hand forged to the finished shape. The piece is then pickled and tumbled for several hours in a mix of stainless steel media to smooth all edges and to strengthen the piece. Finally, the piece is oxidized to accent with dark patina and then given a light coating and polish with micro-crystalline wax which is acid neutral, water and alcohol resistant. Measures approximately 2-1/2" long and 5/16" thick.
Please note the piece pictured is not the piece you will receive, these photos are of our "standard" which is kept on hand in order for us to make a new one for you, just like what is shown. We compare every item made to these standards in order to provide you with the most accurate representation we can. Due to the handmade nature of each piece, some slight variations may be noticed, however we aim to maintain consistency as much as possible. You will receive a quality, handmade piece - made to order each time, and uniquely yours!
All Turner Duncan Jewelry Designs copper products are coated and polished with micro-crystalline wax which is acid neutral, water and alcohol resistant. Our products should provide long term, worry-free (and green skin free!) wear if proper care is taken. As all coatings will wear away over time – and quicker with every day wear - we recommend keeping your piece dry and free from any chemical or abrasive contact.
Some prefer to have these types of coatings left off in order to allow a piece to gain natural patina over time. If you prefer to have your item without coatings, please include a note in the "Note to Seller" section during checkout and we can leave the coatings off. Items with applied or forced patina will lose patina quickly without preservation, and similarly polished items will oxidize naturally and lose luster without preservation.
