The Sergio Lub Difference: Handcrafted Pieces of Wearable Art
The beauty of the Sergio Lub line of copper and magnetic copper bracelets is no accident. Sergio insists on working the metals by hand to achieve intricate and lustrous results that will last a lifetime when properly cared for. Sergio Lub incorporates only high gauss, rare earth magnets in his designs.

Sergio Lub's masterpieces are handcrafted the old fashioned way, starting with solid metal wires. He uses no plating, no casting and no machine stamping, all of which are industrial techniques that save time, but compromise quality.
The red metal used in Sergio's bracelets is 99.99% pure copper, lead free and the purest available. Copper is one of the friendliest of earth's elements, as it combines with many others.
Sergio's yellow metal is jeweler's brass, an alloy of 85% pure copper and 15% pure zinc, both essential minerals worn since prehistoric times. Metals such as copper are absorbed through the skin, so besides their beauty, these bracelets can also be considered a time-release source of essential minerals.
How are Handcrafted Bracelets Different than Machine Made?
A stamping machine applies many tons of pressure on a sheet of copper to stamp a desired shape, intimately deforming the microscopic crystal lattice of the metal, making it rigid and brittle, more “rock like”. A craftsperson making the same pattern by hand will gradually work the copper to its final shape, taking the time to heat the metal repeatedly so the vibrating molecules can realign themselves and relieve the stress produced by the changes made. This carefully executed heating process is called “annealing”. The final result may look alike without a microscope, but it feels much different.
