Ocean Green Patina Jewelry Care

The finish on these handmade ocean green patina earrings is achieved over a brass or copper base, and each pair is as unique as you are. The Statue of Liberty is the most well-known example of a natural verdigris patina. Moisture and oxygen from the air interact with copper resulting in the layer of blue-green hues of oxidation. I speed up that process to create the beautiful hues in the ocean patina earrings. Each pair is sealed front and back, making them suitable and safe for daily wear. Fun fact,  Vert de Gris, translates to "Green of Greece". 

As with any specialty finish, care should be taken to preserve these stunning colors. The finish may be reactive to certain things so It is recommended that this type of jewelry should be removed before showering, swimming, and working out. When applying perfumes or hairspray do it before putting earrings on.
