I flattened copper tubing. No one ever complained.

Last spring or summer I made myself a copper bracelet out of electrical wire (braided, etc. I usually have an abundance of scrap Cu wire from wiring houses.

it looked pretty neat) and I wore it for a week or so, then I developed a rash.  Stopped wearing and rash went away.

Unsure if electrical wire contains something other than elemental Cu or not??

Year ago I made silver and ethnic jewelry and found some women were allergic to anything but pure gold or stainless steel in their ears.  I bought and used Stainless findings w/ no problems reported.
