These bracelet blanks require finishing, which might include decorating (etching, stamping, gluing, etc.); adding holes; filing, sanding, or hammering the edges; polishing and/or antiquing.
14-gauge copper can be a little tough to stamp. We recommend the smaller stamps (it's easier to get a deep impression with small stamps), or annealing the metal before stamping.
Raw copper is unplated, and may not be as shiny and smooth as most plated finishes.
To remove tarnish, use copper cleaner, a polishing cloth, or fine grit (1000 - 1500) sandpaper.
To create an antiqued look on raw copper, apply an oxidizing solution. This works especially well to bring out the details in any texturing or stamping you've added.
