Copper's - up-cycled penny jewelry

With a background in Environment Sciences, our newest maker, Jess Dunlop of Coppers, believes in curbing excessive production of new materials and repurposing existing ones. This led her to up-cycling pennies into unique hand-crafted jewelry.

Jess loves working with copper as it’s durable, earthy and has many properties that support the immune system. Her process includes doming, cleaning and painting the pennies into a variety of colours and protects them with non-toxic wax and sealants. Earrings are on nickle-free copper French hooks and necklaces are on 14K plated rose chains.

With this unique medium, Jess creates pins, necklaces and earrings that come in a range of styles and colours and can be easily paired. Requests can be made for specific styles, as well as birth years for your one of a kind piece.
