This wonderful bracelet contains a set of five genuine Wheaties Lincoln pennies, all from 1946! The entire bracelet is hand-formed copper wire, including the hook and eye clasp. This bracelet is just right on my 6 1/2 inch wrist, so it would fit loosely on a 6 inch wrist, and snug on a 7 inch wrist. I will include a care of copper info sheet, but the gist of the instructions are to mix lemon juice and salt in a wide mouth jar, and just swish the entire bracelet in this mixture for about a minute, rinse, dry and wear. This will keep the new penny color whenever you want it. If you would rather let the copper and pennies patina to a rich brown color, just leave it out in the humidity and don't clean it. Copper is said to have medicinal properties when worn next to the skin with no finish applied.
I have been told that genuine coin jewelry will be hot this fall, so get a jump on the fashion craze and order this one today!
