Coppercraft was born around the late 1980`s when the previous owner , inspired by the sights and sounds of Ancient Africa , started handcrafting this unique jewellery. Ancient beliefs in warding off the “ evil eye” ------ the pattern of the Iguana tracks in the sand and the “ fante flags “ which were used for communicating , all contribute to the copper and brass jewellery we so lovingly make. This beautiful jewellery is hand finished by burnishing and heat treating to get the earthly colours which make it so unique.

Copper and brass has been used by Africans for self adornment since 500 B.C. In wearing this jewellery we hope it will help you capture the spirit of this vast continent. Simple yet complex , ancient yet modern , this copper and brass jewellery is inspired by the Ndebele culture whose art has played such a prominent part of their everyday lives. Today we are owned by Coppercraft Africa and trade as CREATIVE COPPER and are proud to extend this beautiful range into our unique Tableware , Candlestick and Silverware Collections. The home of these handcrafted products is situated in the hills surrounding the picturesque White River in Mpumalanga.
