If you take a look on the Internet, you will surely find a lot of websites that sell copper bracelets and promise you that they serve to remedy half and a half of the ills of humanity and the health problems that age or fatality brings.

As a jeweler, my mission is to offer you top quality treasures both in relation to the metal that makes them up and in relation to the design, modeling and finishing process. That is why I adhere to campaigns such as Fashion Revolution or I presume to be accredited with the craft product badge (D’A).

I am not a fortune teller. Not medical. Not scientific. I am not going to promise you that my copper bracelets will solve your health problems. That is not my mission at The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory. At The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory I do not offer you costume jewelry or industrial jewelry made in distant countries for sale with typical hair-growth seller claims...

...I offer you handmade jewelry made with exclusive designs from my workshop, kilometer zero. In the case of my copper bracelets, they are simple, robust and solid designs, without showing off. But being a discreet design is not at odds with making a quality jewel, solid, in pure electrolytic copper, and with a grammage that does not weigh too much to be wearable, but at the same time does not bend with such a fine blow..

In addition, now I have a quality certificate that makes me very happy: my first five years at The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory, the result of the trust of many clients like you. Thank you all!

About the Merlin Magician and Morgan Fairy Collection from The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory

Morgan Le Fay, painted by Spencer Stanhope, circa 1900, just in a copper color :-)

I'm sure you know the legend. The magician Merlin and the fairy Morgan are two of the protagonists of the legend of King Arthur. Morgan is Arthur's step-sister and a disciple of Merlin, from whom she learns magic, but later she betrays both her half-brother and her master and becomes her archenemy. She along with Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, manage to seduce and bewitch Merlin and imprison him in a bush where he can barely move..

The rivalry between the magician Merlin and the witch Morgan (or the other way around: between the sorcerer Merlin and the magician Morgan) appears in a thousand and one movies and series, such as in the movie Excalibur by John Boorman (1981) or in the Merlin series by Netflix (2012).

When I think of that reddish, electric color of copper, I think of Merlin and Morgan. For me they are the embodiment of that metal. With that magic, that witchcraft and that spell. That is why I have called my collection of jewelery made of 100% pure electrolytic copper "Merlin the Wizard and Morgan le Fay".

Merlin the Wizard and Morgan le Fay is a collection only for fans of copper: the main advantage of copper jewelry is also its main weak point: copper. On the one hand, as advantages, its beautiful electric reddish color and its aphrodisiac and magical properties. On the other hand, as a weak point, its oxidation.

The word "copper" comes from the Latin "cuprum", which comes from "aes cyprium", which means "from Cyprus". The reason is simple: in ancient times, the island of Cyprus had important copper mines that supplied much of the Greco-Roman world.

The current chemical symbol is «Cu», but centuries ago, alchemists represented it with the symbol ♀, which also represented the planet Venus, the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the female sex.

Copper geeks version. The main advantage of copper jewelry is also its main weak point: it is made of copper.

The reason for this relationship between the symbol ♀ and Venus may be that the goddess Astarte, equivalent to Venus-Aphrodite for the Phoenicians, was highly revered in Cyprus. The symbol ♀ also bears a great resemblance to the Egyptian hieroglyph Ankh, which represented life and sexual union.

On the one hand, as advantages of copper:

• The favorite metal of the goddess Venus, symbol of love and eroticism. Copper is related to the planet Venus and to the goddess of love who gave it its name: Venus for the Romans, Aphrodite for the Greeks. Many ancient cultures have turned it into the reference metal for love, the aphrodisiac and eroticism. Its reddish and electric color awakes from ancient times a tingling of those that loses you ;-)

"Merlin's Enchantment", with Nimue imprisoning the wizard, painted by Edward Burne-Jones in 1872.

• The magic metal of alchemists, sorcerers and druids. Copper has been used since antiquity, that is why we speak of "The Copper Age". Its use in jewelry, metalwork and boilermaking is ancient, both for its physical properties and for its easy obtaining in natural state mining. In addition to its reddish color and metallic luster, it has the peculiarity that, after silver, it is a great conductor of electricity or heat. In addition, there is its oxidation, which produces a greenish tint on the skin or a greenish patina on the copper itself. Those three qualities (the metallic reddish color, the electrical and thermal conductivity and the greenish oxidation) have related it from ancient times with the occult, magic and esotericism. Moroccan or Indian jewelry still uses copper profusely.
• The poor cousin of precious metals. Copper is not a precious metal, like silver or gold. However, seeing her sparkle, it is difficult not to consider it as a beauty. Mixing that appeal with its physical properties and the fact that it is easy to obtain in nature and therefore its lower cost compared to precious metals, it is not surprising that many consider it as the poor cousin of precious metals: it is not "precious", but leftover handsomeness, with an exotic touch and at cost price :)

On the other hand, as weak point:

• Copper easily oxidizes. Copper is a material that oxidizes on contact with skin, sweat, or cosmetics. This implies that it can generate a greenish discoloration of the skin with which it is in contact and that the ring can darken due to the effect of the same oxidation. It does not always happen (it depends on the reaction of the skin and the sweating of each person, or the use of certain cosmetics) but it is a characteristic to take into account. A jewel like this one, entirely made of copper, necessarily implies greater care, both for your skin and your new treasure: my recommendation is to rub it with a silver chamois leather every two or three days.

The main difference of my copper bracelets compared to the serial productions that you can find on other websites is the quality and the handmade manufacturing. Your copper bracelet is made with pure electrolytic copper and handcrafted. The result is a unique and quality bracelet.

And if you like it but would prefer it with some changes... please tell me and we will talk about it :)
