Copper will gain character and patina over time due to contact with oils and moisture. Tarnish can easily be removed by dipping the piece in soy sauce or ketchup for a few minutes. Afterwards rinse and dry thoroughly.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Smithstine is a one-woman studio creating prairie inspired and custom copper jewelry and accessories.

I realized my passion for working with metal in 2011 when I first began attending community silversmithing classes. Since then I've worked hard to teach myself new skills and techniques involved in metal smithing. I value the art of making things by hand, from scratch.

Copper has become my metal of choice because it is soft, shines up beautifully and is not particularly common in jewelry making. My copper designs are mainly prairie related because I appreciate Alberta's diverse features, creatures and landmarks.

I began copper enamelling in 2018 using my Grandma’s copper enamelling kiln from the 70s. It is a beautiful and unique process of melding copper with glass.
