Fabulous Friday Finds in Copper

Lately, I have become more and more enamored with using copper in designs.  Although my true love is still sterling silver, copper adds such warmth and a depth of color to some designs and actually looks better with various stones than sterling silver does.  Copper is gorgeous, whether used as the main component of a design, such as in some of the cuff bracelets I am featuring, or as a counterpoint in design, adding that extra "oomph".  

This week, I decided to feature jewelry designs that use copper . . . either a lot or a little.  Whatever struck my eye as I was browsing was added to my Fiday Finds folder.  And, believe me, it was hard to keep this post down to a manageable baker's dozen.  I hope you enjoy these handmade copper jewelry picks and will visit the artists' studios to see more of their wonderful work.
