Very cool. Is this acid copper plating? Can you explain the process?

Yes, its a copper sulfate solution, similar to copper plating but much weaker. I then glue the pieces I want to make copper together. For rings I create the band and all that, glue and shape the stones onto the band. I use the baking soda, and super glu trick here to instant set my stones to the ring bands. Then it all gets painted with a graphite and modge podge paint I DIY made here from an online recipe. Then Set it in a low voltage/amperage for 4-ish hours so it gets a nice slow even plate. You can play with texture more increasing the voltage makes the copper melt down faster and plate faster. So you can get some far our crazy textures
