Hello! I am an eforming jewelry maker. The technique I use is called electro forming or eforming. It is a process of creating jewelry by sculpting a structure with stones, bones, organics and epoxy and then use a system of copper forming by immersion in a bath in which a current flows and causes copper to grow, atom by atom, on the conductive parts of the jewelry. Each piece spends 12 to 30 hours in the eforming bath. So the copper starts to grow little by little, very slowly, and creates this very aesthetic and organic look, in a completely unique way. Each piece is totally unique and impossible to reproduce exactly. The piece is then patinated to give it these antique or colorful tones, then sanded and coated with a protective layer of Protectaclear varnish to minimize the natural color changes of the copper and permanently retain the beautiful patina. Copper can tint your skin over time, however it is a beautiful and durable metal, already used by the Egyptians and Greeks. You can wax it to keep it the same color or you can rub it from time to time with steel wool to enhance its shininess.
