{"product_id":"kopero-premium-koperen-armband","title":"Kopero Copper Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eWearing a copper bracelet is not a new idea. The practice runs from Egyptian and Greek sources through Ayurveda to the modern Western market, and it was also studied seriously a few times in the twentieth century. What those studies did and did not show is set out in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/kennisbank\/de-koperen-armband-een-eeuwenoude-traditie\"\u003ethe copper bracelet, a centuries-old tradition\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are four finishes. \u003cstrong\u003eTwisted\u003c\/strong\u003e has a classic cable structure of strands wound into each other. \u003cstrong\u003eSmooth\u003c\/strong\u003e is a single, even band with no relief. \u003cstrong\u003eHammered\u003c\/strong\u003e is worked by hand and catches the light in small facets. \u003cstrong\u003eRound\u003c\/strong\u003e is a plain round bar with no texture. The copper is the same in all four; the choice is about how visibly you want to wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet is open and adjustable, with a circumference of about 17.5 centimetres. You bend it slightly wider or narrower with two hands so it stays on the wrist without pinching. Do that gently and no more often than you need to: copper is malleable, but bending it back and forth repeatedly weakens the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to watch out for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the bracelet off when you shower, swim and exercise. Soap, chlorine and sweat speed up the darkening, and that is the one thing that makes wearing it unpleasant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn many wearers, copper leaves a faint green tint on the skin. That is a reaction between copper, sweat and skin oils, and it washes off with water. What it does and does not mean is explained in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/kennisbank\/waarom-wordt-mijn-koper-groen-of-zwart-en-is-dat-een-probleem\"\u003ewhy is my copper turning green or black\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make no health claims about wearing copper on the skin.
