Care guide for brass jewelryUpdated 3 months ago
Brass jewelry is bold, timeless, and made to evolve with you. Over time, each piece develops its own unique character – part of the charm ✨
A few things to know about brass:
- Brass is durable yet easy to shape.
- The metal parts are nickel-free, but may irritate very sensitive skin.
- Our brass is untreated, which means it will develop a natural patina over time.
Patina simply means the surface darkens and becomes more textured in tone. It’s a natural feature of brass – not a flaw.
Darkening & green tint
Brass naturally reacts with air, moisture, and skin:
- The surface may darken with wear
- It can sometimes leave a greenish tint on the skin
Both are completely normal characteristics of brass.
How to keep your jewelry looking its best
If you prefer a brighter finish, a little care goes a long way:
- Clean your jewelry regularly to prevent heavy darkening.
- You can use a simple home method:
- mix ½ liter of vinegar + 1 tablespoon of salt
- gently clean the jewelry with the solution and rinse with water
- Dry the piece carefully after cleaning.
Brass jewelry is meant to live and change with you. With a little care, it stays beautiful and ready to wear for a long time.
