Digging pits and using heavy stones to break waste rock away from copper masses, they fashion bracelets, beads, tools, fishhooks and other items for trade. Objects made of Keweenaw copper have been found in archeological sites across the continent.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach pair of cufflinks is unique and one of a kind, and made by hand by printmaker, metalworking artist and Cyberoptix founder, Bethany Shorb. I work between Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA, where I source all our stone, crystal, shell, fossil and horn specimens. They are intuitively sourced in person, in LA from only the most reputable suppliers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Well Done Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42805911945298,"sku":"lio1791866174832","price":67.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/5141\/2562\/files\/copper-nugget-cufflinks-northern-michigan-raw-copper-ore-cuff-links_1.jpg?v=1791866183","url":"https:\/\/loveoutfitus.shop\/products\/copper-nugget-cufflinks-northern-michigan-raw-copper-ore-cuff-links","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
