Frequently Asked Questions
Most copper jewelry sold online is plated — not solid.
Plated copper loses skin contact within weeks — the coating wears away and you're left wearing a base metal with a faint copper tint. That's not what Charles and Norma is.
A few things that make our pieces different:
- Every piece is 99.9% pure solid copper — no plating, no base metal, no shortcuts
- Real copper is non-magnetic — hold a magnet to your piece. If it sticks, we'll refund you every penny
- Consistency is everything — wear it daily for at least a month before deciding whether it's working for you
Honestly? Many of our customers say yes — but we'll let you decide.
Copper has been worn against human skin for over 3,000 years — across ancient Egypt, India, Rome, and beyond, long before the wellness industry existed.
Here's what we know:
- Thousands of Charles and Norma customers report noticing a difference within 2–4 weeks of daily wear
- Individual results vary — we don't make medical claims and we won't pretend otherwise
- We back every piece with a full money-back guarantee — so you can try it without risking anything
Clinical studies on copper show mixed results — some promising, some inconclusive.
What's harder to dismiss is 3,000 years of consistent use — across virtually every major civilisation on earth, independently and without coordination.
A few things to consider:
- Many studies use copper-infused fabrics, not solid copper — the method of contact matters
- Our customers keep coming back — year after year, many have worn Charles and Norma pieces for years
- Sustained real-world results speak louder than any single controlled study
Pure copper ages beautifully — and that's by design.
The natural patina that develops over time is not damage — it's proof the copper is real and responding to your skin and environment.
To restore the original shine:
- Mix lemon juice and a pinch of salt — rub gently over the surface
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely before wearing again
- Avoid leaving it wet for extended periods — store in a dry place when not wearing
The more consistently you wear it, the better it looks.
Yes, you can.
Pure copper is naturally resilient — it has been worn by people through every kind of weather and water for centuries.
That said, a few things worth knowing:
- Saltwater and chlorine will accelerate the patina process — your piece will darken and age faster than it would with dry wear
- This is not damage. It is simply the copper responding to its environment, the way real metal does
- Prolonged or repeated exposure to chlorine pools may affect the surface finish over time
If you prefer to keep the original shine, rinse the piece with fresh water after swimming and pat dry. Otherwise — wear it freely. It's made to be lived in, not stored.
Fair question — and it deserves a straight answer.
