and over 12,000 other women wear Karla's Kobber every day.
4 reasons women have worn copper for 3,000 years
A tradition older than medicine
From Egyptian queens to Roman soldiers, people have worn copper against their skin for over 3,000 years.
Made for everyday wear
Light enough to forget, heavy enough to feel. Karla's copper jewellery is hand-hammered to be worn every single day – in the shower, in the garden and while you sleep – without ever having to take it off.
Develops its own patina
Real copper changes along with you. Within a few weeks your jewellery develops a patina entirely unique to your skin – a quiet imprint of every day you've worn it. No two pieces ever look exactly alike.
Handmade to be passed down
Only two pieces a day. Hand-hammered on a leather sandbag in Karla's workshop. Made from 99.9% pure copper – the same purity treasured for centuries. No machines. No coatings.

About me
Every single piece of jewellery I make begins with the same intention: to be worn by someone who truly takes joy in it.
Copper has been worn directly against the skin for thousands of years — by Egyptian queens, Roman soldiers and generations of women before us. Quietly, every single day, close to the skin. I've been making this jewellery by hand for 33 years, and I've seen customers come back year after year.
What began as a craft became something I can only describe as a calling. But now my grandchildren are growing up without me always being there — and for the first time in 33 years there's something that matters more than the work.
Every piece in this collection is made with my own hands, one at a time. I can only create a limited number — and once they're gone, I won't make any more.
My mother lived to 96. She wore copper every single day.
She never took it off. Not in the shower. Not when she slept. Not even on her wedding day.
We called it superstition. She called it tradition.
She grew up wearing copper jewellery every day – just as her mother did, and her grandmother before her.
"You stopped wearing copper and started wondering why everything feels harder."
I dismissed it for years. Until I turned 50 and started looking at her – really looking at her – and realised she had aged in a completely different way from most women I knew.
She had something I believe modern women have lost: something she put on every morning that connected her to her mother, her grandmother and all the women before them. A small daily ritual. Three thousand years old. No pills. No schedule. Nothing to remember.
Her copper bracelet is now on my wrist.
It's too late to tell her she was right. But it's not too late for you.
Frequently asked questions
Most people who say that have never tried real copper. They've tried Nehushtan — zinc and brass with a copper coating. Genuine 99.9% pure copper, worn directly against the skin, is something else entirely.
10,000 women came back to Karla over 40 years without a single advert. That's not a placebo.
Hold a magnet up to it when it arrives. Real copper doesn't react to a magnet. If it sticks even a little, Karla refunds you every last penny and you keep the jewellery.
In 40 years, not one of her pieces has ever stuck to a magnet.
Because God made your body to need it. His people used copper for over 3,000 years for their joints, blood circulation and energy. The supplement industry simply found a way to sell you a less effective version.
She's 69 years old. Her grandchildren are 3 and 6. This is her last collection — no restocks, no backorders and no going back.
Wear it for 30 days. If you don't notice any difference, we'll give you back every last penny. No questions asked.
