Copper Findings
We know the construction method is on a Copper Findings, it will be stated. 'Plated' means copper plated over base metal. 'Solid' means that the material is all copper. 'Copper Finish' means that the piece is cast in pewter and then is quality copper plated (the plating on these items is very thick & durable and should not be equated with the 'Plated' items).
A note on items marked "handmade": these items are fabricated in India. While the base material is solid copper, the connections are usually closed using silver solder. For example, the loop on a toggle bar may be attached to the bar using solder. Sometimes you may see a bit of silver color in the finished piece.
