Why Women Love Copper Every Day
A Tradition That Predates Medicine
From Egyptian queens to Roman soldiers to Ayurvedic healers, copper has been worn against the skin for over 3,000 years — long before pharmacies existed.
Made for Daily Wear
Light enough to forget, heavy enough to feel. Vera's cuffs are hammered to be worn every day — in the shower, the garden, while you sleep — without ever taking them off.
Develops Your Patina
Real copper changes with you. Within weeks, your bracelet develops a patina unique to your skin — a quiet record of every day you've worn it. No two pieces ever look the same.

Two pieces a day. 99.9% pure copper — the same purity worn for centuries. No machines. No coatings.

ABOUT HARPER & MAE
Every piece in this collection starts with the same intention: to be worn by someone who wants to carry something real.
Copper has been pressed against human skin for thousands of years — by Egyptian queens, by Roman soldiers, by every generation of women who came before us. Worn quietly, daily, against the skin. This collection was built on that same obsession: pure copper, made the way it deserves to be made, and watched it bring people back year after year.
What started as a small collection became something we can only describe as a calling. Every detail matters — the weight, the finish, the purity. Because the women who wear these pieces deserve to know exactly what they're putting on their skin.
Every piece in this collection is shaped by hand, one at a time. There are only so many we can make — and once they're gone, they're gone.
Frequently asked questions
Is this real copper?
Yes. Each piece is made from solid copper, not a copper-coloured coating. You can check it at home with the magnet test described on this page.
Will copper turn my skin green?
Sometimes, and that is completely normal. Copper reacts with sweat and moisture and can leave a faint green mark. It is harmless and washes off with soap and water.
How do I keep my bracelet shiny?
Wipe it with a soft cloth. To bring back the original shine, rub it with a little lemon juice and salt, rinse and dry. Or let it develop a deeper, natural patina over time.
Can I wear it in the shower?
You can, but water speeds up the natural darkening of copper. Take it off for swimming and dry it after a shower to keep the colour longer.
Will it fit my wrist?
Our cuffs are open at the back, so you can gently bend them to fit most wrists. Do it slowly and only a little at a time.
