Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher from 500 BC, is said to have remarked while observing a flowing stream, that "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." This bracelet is inspired by the idea that change is a fundamental component to life.
Sergio Lub and his family individually handcraft each bracelet in their Northern California Studios. Bracelets are adjustable and designed to be worn continuously, aging gracefully as they last for years.

About Copper & Healing:
“Copper is an essential element for the enzyme that regenerates the cartilage lining our bones and to clean up the radicals destructive to human tissues.”
- The Copper Bracelet and Arthritis, Dr. Helmar H. A. Dollwet, Professor of Biology, University of Akron, OH
•
“Copper, when in contact with the skin, forms chelates with human sweat, and is thus absorbed through the skin.
Think of a bracelet as a time-release source of copper."
- Dr. R. Walker, University of Newcastle, Australia.
•
“Copper chelates are more effective and less toxic than drugs being used to treat arthritis.”
- Dr. J. Sorenson, University of Arkansas, USA.
