    I love the look of copper and wholesale trends predict copper in
    jewelry in the next year or two as well as mixed metals (now's the
    time for mokume gane!)  Remember in the 50's or so when all the
    enamelled copper was in style?  There's a great book about Frank
    Rebajes (The Kiss) and Jerry Fels (of Renoir jewelry fame) that I
    don't recall the name of right off the top of my head.... but, very
    inspiring and some of the jewelry very attractive.  I use sheet
    copper as a setting for fused glass to make "wall jewels".... love
    working with it.
