Handmade twisted wire bracelet in solid copper; with copper ball terminals. Each ball contains a a small magnet, permanently epoxied so that the magnet will never fall out, no matter how much you bend your bracelet. Neodymium magnets (Nd-Fe-B) are composed of neodymium, iron, boron and a few transition metals. These magnets are extremely strong for their small size. Copper bracelets can be traced back to the Iron age, around 800 BC, although it is suspected that they may have been used even earlier. No lacquer or finish applied so that the copper can be absorbed by your skin.. lacquer-coated bracelets will stay shiny, but your skin can't absorb the copper. You can let your bracelet 'age' to a dark patina or polish them with any metal polish (I like Tarnex). May leave a green color on your wrist when you are sweating, but that easily washes off with soap and water. Looks great on men or women. Comes in a gift box as shown.
