An elegantly rustic copper button designed by Patricia Healey. This original button is designed with a shank on the back, making it ideal for securing various accessories such as wrap bracelets, charm bracelets, and necklaces. Fabricated from pure copper with attention to detail, adding a textured spiral to the top of this artfully designed shanked button. A delightful addition to your handcrafted designs!

My process for making the copper components. We’ve manipulated the color of the copper using genuine top shelf copper and changing the colors using both heat and chemistry. Read on!:

Original Artwork by Patricia Healey ~ Each gorgeous genuine copper bead and pendant is handmade from sheet metal. First we cut the shapes out, then put form to metal using the technique of “Repousse”, (beating the crap out of the metal from the reverse side giving it form). We use a bronze solder which you can sometimes see as bits of gold peeking through the solder.
