    Many people believe that copper has a theraputic quality for the
    treatment of arthritis.  Copper and brass will in time, depending on
    the persons chemistry, leave a green/black mark on the skin from
    oxidization.  I don't know what one should coat items with in order
    to prevent the oxidization process.  It is, however, not harmful.  I
    wouldn't suggest it for use on earrings or items that will be close
    to more sensitive areas of skin.  I hope this info was helpful.
