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.
