Those of you who have been in the shop recently may have heard us talk about how Antique Copper metals are selling briskly.
What we didn’t realize is that we would have to create many of the products ourselves.
We’ve received our first shipment of Antique Copper Ox Charms and Filigrees - 15 styles of charms and filigrees, including Crosses, Puffed Hearts, Stars, Leaves, Shield Connectors, Rings and more. The material is Antique Copper plate over Brass.

You can see the charms and filigrees online here
One easy way to use these is to hang one or more on snap bails (we had one done in Antique Copper), then string one or more on a cord or chain.
We hope you like these charms and filigrees.
As always, we appreciate your business.
Best Regards,
Paul and Cynthia
