What is brass?

Brass is not a specific metal, but an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass is usually made of about 55-90% copper and 10-45% zinc and is usually made from scrap that is melted together in an induction furnace and then shaped.

Brass scrap can be old vehicles and decommissioned machines. Brass jewelry is recycled and recyclable, making it an extremely environmentally friendly alternative.

Why does brass discolor?

The copper contained in brass creates a patina through oxidation. This discoloration is not harmful to health.

However, if you want your jewelry to stay gold-colored and shiny for as long as possible, you can always keep your brass jewelry nice and dry and clean so that the oxidation process occurs much later or not at all. It is best to take your jewelry off before showering, exercising or swimming in the sea. Deodorant and perfume can promote oxidation.

Brass jewelry care:

To remove the patina from your jewelry, we recommend this simple cleaning method:

Mix some warm water with lemon juice 1:1 and put your piece of jewelry in it. Leave it there for about 10 minutes and then wash it under running water and dry and polish it with a cotton cloth. You can find these instructions on the back of every jewelry packaging.
