Collar Ring Aristokles

Aristocles, our solid copper choker: Striking, solid-looking, clearly hand-forged

And this is how we made it:
The solid copper choker Aristokles – weighing approx. 70 grams and 5mm thick, width 7 to 9 mm – made from solid copper. Classic here in a modern high-tech finish

The choker is hardly elastic. Here, too, we recommend a precise fit in all cases. See taking measurements. Adjustment is possible with little effort

Manufacture: – 3 round bars of solid copper, 3mm diameter, are twisted together. The twisted rod is cut to the correct length and the end pieces are TIG welded – a fusion welding process in which the end pieces are fused together in an arc. We use helium as the inert gas here, which enables us to produce an extremely precise weld seam – only the copper is melted here, so no other metal is added. Copper and nothing but copper is used in this piece of jewelry.

Then we clean the choker in sulphuric acid, remove the remaining soft slag with running water and a brass brush. Press into a round form, forge flat, grind, deburr, polish, deburr end pieces. Press into the 3-D ergonomic round shape, polish… and finished. The choker is polished again, wrapped, put in a bubble envelope, address label with the tracking code on it … and off to the post office … and then the choker will soon be in your letterbox…

The Aristocles copper choker is striking, solid, weighty and definitely handcrafted. There are clear traces of forging on the entire choker. It is waterproof. Wearable for any occasion, especially for sporting events, golf, tennis…not suitable for hard work. Goes better with jeans, sweatshirt than with a little black cocktail dress.

Copper is good for you…Although this has not been scientifically proven, many people report that copper helps with inflammation, muscle tension, joint pain and rheumatic complaints. This is why many athletes wear solid copper jewelry. You can find more interesting details on our “What you should know about copper” page.

Determining the right size: A good size is your clothing size, as accurate as possible, e.g. 38 / 40, even better whole numbers, e.g. 37 or 39… If you also enter your neck circumference in the “Remarks” field, this is very helpful for production. Sometimes the correct size is only possible after trying it on, so the same applies here as for all our jewelry. Wear this choker (as well as all other pieces of jewelry) to try it on, no problem with exchange or return. Exchange or return also for worn pieces of jewelry, even with signs of wear.
