RG0131CU Copper Vintage Rust Patina Clear Lens

DESCRIPTION
RIGARDS 2021Spring Summer Collection.

Half-rim frame made of copper, round type eyewear. This is a patina processed model that expresses the ageing process such as fading, wear and rust. The rust treatment (verdigris) is done by adjusting the color by soaking it in a special chemical that has been mixed originally, the soaking time is adjusted by the designer's sense so each item has a different look. Verdigris is a blue-green rust produced by the oxidation of copper, also called copper rust. It has been used for coloring copper alloys, forming a film on the surface of copper plates to prevent internal corrosion and has an antibacterial effect. Since ancient times, its unique color has been incorporated into copper roofing roofs and bronze statues.
