The Last Pieces Helen Will Ever Make Are Now on Sale
After 45 years of handcrafting pure copper jewelry, 72-year-old Helen is stepping back for good. This is her final collection.
Helen at her studio in Asheville, NC, where she has handcrafted pure copper jewelry for 45 years.
For 45 years, Helen has made every single piece herself in her Asheville studio. No factory. No shortcuts. Now, at 72, she's closing for good — and selling everything directly to the people who've worn her work for decades.
"I don't want these pieces sitting in storage. I want them on someone's wrist, being worn every day. That's why I'm selling everything now."
— Helen, 72, founder of Helen's Jewelry
Helen works exclusively with pure copper. Each piece is cut, shaped and finished by hand.
Pure copper gets better with age — not worse. Many of her customers have worn the same bracelet every single day for 10, 15, even 20 years.
Helen's remaining inventory — the last collection she will ever produce.
Rather than sell the brand, Helen chose the only option that felt right: a final sale, managed personally. Up to 70% off. No restock. When these are gone, the studio closes for good.
Stock update: Several styles already sold out since the closing was announced.
Official closing sale — limited stock
Up to 70% Off.
Helen's Final Collection.
These are the last pieces Helen will ever make. No restock. No second chance.
