Care information

The brass I use is untreated. I have found that treating the brass only delays tarnishing and makes it much harder to restore pieces to a shine.

It is in the nature of silver and brass to tarnish over time. Although it can be polished back to it’s original state, we encourage the wearer to embrace the evolving finish of the metal.

If preferred one can use a product like silvo or brasso to restore the original finish OR a bath in a hot salty vinegar solution and scrub with an abrasive brush will work. Jewellery should always be removed before showering.

Get in contact if you’re in need of any help.

Why brass?

Brass is a wonderful material, apart from being more sustainable than silver or gold it really allows for an expressive approach to making. It can be inhibiting to have the high stakes of precious metal when making so brass is my antidote! Keeping my work somewhat accessible in price is really important to me and using brass also happens to mean I can charge a bit less for my pieces.
