Brass is a popular and versatile metal alloy widely used in jewelry making. It is primarily composed of copper and zinc, creating a material known for its warm golden tone, durability, and excellent workability. Because of its strength and ability to hold intricate shapes, brass is commonly used as a base metal for plated jewelry, especially gold-plated designs.
Brass naturally oxidizes over time due to its copper content, which can lead to a darker patina. This aging process is normal and can add a vintage character to the piece. With proper care, brass-based jewelry can maintain its beauty and shine for years, especially when protected with high-quality plating such as 18K gold.
Care for Brass Jewelry:
- Avoid exposing to moisture, sweat, perfume, and household chemicals, as they may accelerate tarnishing
- Store in a dry, airtight pouch or box when not in use
- Avoid pressure, bending, or pulling on delicate components such as earring posts
