  • Nature Worn Copper Slag Accessory hand-wrapped with Elemental Tin

    Product Description

    This is a beautiful, chunky, nature worn Copper slag accessory, hand wrapped with Copper band which has been plated with elemental Tin, with Silver soldered joints.

    We like nothing better than to be in our little workshop creating things like this unusual Copper slag accessory which could be used as a keyring, a bag charm or anything else you can think of. We collect the nature worn Copper slag ourselves from Cornish beaches and quaysides, areas famous for the smelting of Copper ore in the 18th and 19th centuries; so each piece is a little bit of history! The Copper slag pieces have been naturally worn by the sand and sea and have varying degrees of weathering and we individually hand-wrap each one with Copper wire or Copper band.

    For this piece we have used a combination of patinating and plating on the Copper band to achieve our desired effect. Cornwall has a long history of Tin and Copper mining stretching back into antiquity! These industries left their mark on the Cornish landscape and coast lines. We wanted to reflect this by plating the Copper band with elemental Tin. The Copper is not varnished and overtime the patina will change, this beautiful property of Copper means that your piece will take on individual characteristics, telling its own story of how it has been used.

    Features
    • Our hand-crafted Nature worn Copper slag accessories are individual and one-of-kind; no two are the same.
    • Copper slag is a by-product of the Copper ore smelting process, the pieces can range from a dark black colour through dark grey to a more copper-brown colour. Some have a glass-like appearance; some have a ropy textured surface and some appear more pitted; we did a little research and discovered these differences depend on how quickly the Copper slag was cooled
