About Me
Hi, my name is Vera.
I've been making copper jewelry by hand in Sedona, Arizona since 1984. What started when my mum Margaret pressed a copper bracelet into my hand and said "wear it, give it a month" turned into 40 years of craft — and thousands of pieces made one at a time.
I never advertised. People found me through word of mouth. A retired firefighter. A nurse. A woman who drove six hours because she said nothing else had worked.
Twice, large wellness companies offered to buy my designs. Twice, I said no. I wasn't willing to put my name on something I didn't make with my own hands.
Why I'm still here.
Forty years in, I still forge every cuff the same way my mum taught me — one piece at a time, by hand, only after you order. No machines. No plating. No shortcuts.
I'm 69 now. My granddaughters are 3 and 6. Between them and my workbench, my days are full — and I've never been happier with how I spend them.
Every piece I make is 99.9% pure copper, hand-hammered in my workshop, forged only after your order comes in. That's why it takes a little longer to ship. And that's why it actually works.
I hope the copper treats you well.
