    Lisa- I have made a number of heavy embellished copper bracelets
    lined with silver, and have gotten great response, especially from
    men. The green wrist syndrome is indeed an issue. With the silver
    lining, I feel like I can justify all the work because the purchaser
    is more likely to actually wear it and see the value. Of course, you
    don't get the supposed "benefits" of copper against the skin. but
    that's probably a placebo anyway. So go for it!
