BRASS & COPPER JEWELRY CARE

 

BRASS & COPPER CARE
WHAT ARE THEY?

Brass: A warm, golden metal alloy that offers the rich look of solid gold at an accessible price point. Brass has been used in jewelry and ornaments for more than 4,000 years, tracing back to early civilizations that worked with copper-zinc alloys. Throughout history, cultures in West Africa, India, and across Europe relied on brass as an accessible, durable, and radiant substitute for solid gold.

Copper: A pure, natural metal known for its earthy, reddish-pink hue and vintage aesthetic. For generations, many have turned to heavy-gauge copper jewelry for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, believing that wearing the metal directly against the skin can help ease joint stiffness, promote circulation, and offer holistic healing energy.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Brass and copper naturally react with oxygen and skin oils over time, developing a rich, natural patina. Daily wear against clothing keeps raised surfaces naturally polished!

EASY DAILY CARE

Polishing Cloths: A standard silver/jewelry polishing cloth works wonders to safely restore shine in seconds!

Gentle Cleaning: Mild soap and warm water are great for a quick refresh. Always dry thoroughly.

Keep Dry: Remove pieces before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.

GEMSTONE & PEARL SAFETY

Avoid harsh liquid chemical cleaners or abrasive creams (like Brasso), as they can strip finish or damage delicate porous gemstones and pearls. A gentle dry polishing cloth is always the safest option!
