Copper

Strong and Beautiful

Graceful and strong harnessing a poise and elegance born through discipline and practice. Her finesse in motion appears effortless on the surface while the toes relent against the strain of gravity hidden in her shoes. Malleable, corrosive resistant, fluid, conductive, soft yet tough; copper is simultaneously a dancer and a fighter.

A Rich History

While the viewer may only see the beauty but not the journey, at Allen Metals our skilled metalworkers have an earned respect for both. A pure element found in a useable state naturally. Because of this, early civilizations were able to cold forge copper into coins, jewelry, and tools without the need for smelting. It is recognized as the first metal used by humans dating back as far as 9000 BC.
