SCAMMERS ALERT ⚠️
A fake “artisan” is copying my story and selling you coated brass.Read this before you buy.
I don't usually do this, and I never thought I would at my age, but there's something I need to get off my chest about the scams running on Facebook.
After I finally put my little workshop online, copycats started appearing left and right.
I know it's normal.
I know I shouldn't complain.
But there's one store that has truly crossed a line.
Patricia's Jewelry.
These people didn't just copy my designs…
- They copied my story — an old woman, a little workshop, a final collection. My life, word for word.
- They copied my product names. I make the Root Copper Bracelet. They sell a “Root Copper Bracelet.”
- They copied my ads, my words, my photographs' style — everything.
And here's the part I still can't believe:
“Patricia” is not a real person.
Her photos are generated by a computer. Look closely at her pictures. Look at her hands.
And the worst part?
They cheapened everything.
- Coated brass instead of pure copper — the kind that turns your wrist green by spring.
- Stamped out by the thousands in a factory overseas. No hands. No hammer. No workshop.
Then they slap a fake “$229” price tag on it, cross it out, and make their copy look like a “better deal.”
Don't just take my word for it — check for yourself.

I opened my little online shop on March 31st. “Patricia” appeared out of nowhere thirty days later — copying everything I had just built.
Look — this was never about ego for me.
I'm 69 years old. I'm closing my workshop, not building an empire.
If there were a real craftswoman out there making better copper than mine, I'd send you to her myself, and I'd mean it.
Because for me it was never about money — it's about women finally wearing real copper against their skin, the way it's been worn for thousands of years, instead of another coated trinket that flakes apart in months.
But copying an old woman's life, faking a person who doesn't exist, and tricking the very women I make these for?
That's not competition.
That's exploitation.
The women buying from “Patricia” think they're buying from me.
They're saving up for something handmade. Something real. Something they plan to pass down to a daughter.
And what arrives is a plastic bag from a factory, with a bracelet that was never touched by human hands.
I just can't keep quiet about that.
That's what breaks my heart most…
A woman finally decides to treat herself to something real — and gets tricked into a counterfeit of it, made by no one, from nothing, meaning nothing.
Of course, when Patricia's people see this page, they'll probably take it down and put up their own page calling me the “fake” one.
But please don't fall for it, and please spread the word.
There is only one of me. The original is only available on my official website, veras-copper.com.
Thank you for trusting me.
