Cosmic Copper Shield

The Cosmic Copper Shield is crafted to elevate any look with elegance and ancestral power. These are a true power piece. Ermine have historically adorned our attire to symbolize our connection to the cosmos and the wealth it brings.

You may have seen these exquisite beings gracing the cloaks and crowns of Colonizer British royalty, who extracted them from our homelands, draping themselves in that stolen wealth - much like the trillions of dollars taken from around the globe. I often wonder if their inspiration came from our own relationship with ermine, adding them to their garments alongside the diamonds and precious gemstones pillaged from Africa and India.

Regardless, we have always honored our connection to ermine with pride and respect. These copper shields feature yellow cedar inlaid with abalone shell, designed for those who embrace a boujee and royal aesthetic.

Available in extremely small batch quantities.

Size: 19-21 inches long, 2 inches wide
Material: yellow cedar, abalone inlay, abalone gem, ermine pelt
Hardware: silver-plated stainless steel or brass

Ğiáxsix̌a for supporting Copper Canoe Woman! We want to give you some tips on caring for your pieces to help ensure that you’ll be able to wear it for the years to come.

​Care Tips:

• Please treat your jewelry with care. We don’t recommend storing your jewelry in a bag/purse, unless it’s wrapped in fabric, tucked into a small jewelry bag/roll, or in it’s original packaging.
• ​Take care when putting on jackets, purses, and bags so your jewelry doesn’t snag.
• ​Try not to let your jewelry get wet, please remove before showering or swimming. Water can damage the findings, and other metal parts of our jewelry.
• ​Put your jewelry on as a finishing touch. Perfumes, sunscreens, bug sprays and various skincare products can cause discoloration or a change in texture of any acrylic pieces in the jewelry.
• ​Avoid leaving your jewelry in the bathroom, or other humid environments. Humidity causes metal to tarnish.
• ​To clean the acrylic pieces, a microfiber cloth (and a little bit of water for stubborn marks) will leave them looking brand new.
• ​To clean brass pieces we suggest mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Please make sure that your brass jewelry is completely dried to avoid tarnishing.
• ​Please do not use any products that contain alcohol to clean your jewelry as it can damage the finish.

​If you have any other questions, please contact us! We’re happy to help.
