Copper, brass, and bronze artisan antimicrobial rings
Thursday, August 6, 2020
These unique artisan rings are about form and function. The form is organic in shape & design.
The function comes from these metals being antimicrobial, which means they are capable
of killing bacteria & viruses (microbes).
Before 1932 when antibiotics were invented being exposed to copper was the old version of
constantly using sanitizer on your hands. So these rings were meant to be touched as
often as possible.
