Zarinos's Bloom Copper Bracelet

Some things you put on and instantly feel a difference. I made this piece for the days when your joints remind you they are there, the flowers engraved by hand one petal at a time, the vine traced slowly around the entire band using the same tool I have worked with for thirty years.

Copper has been worn against the skin for thousands of years by people who needed their bodies to keep moving. The ones who return to me often say the same thing. Over time, they stopped noticing what they once felt in their wrists.

This is one of the final bracelets I will make before I close my workshop for good. I hope it finds the wrist that needs it most.
