Handmade
All OAY jewelry are lovingly handcrafted for you.
With a focus on sustainability and slow fashion, every piece is created after the order has been received in our studio on Lake Constance. This can reduce waste and promote conscious consumption. Brass is a recyclable material and therefore sustainable.
Our packaging is made of recycled cardboard and compostable film (cellophane)

Jewelry cleaning
Over time, brass starts up. A natural process. With the following tip you can always get a gleaming gold from an antique piece of jewelry. Clean brass jewelry quite simply. Just put your brasscake jewelry in a little lemon juice and water for 10 minutes. Then rinse under clear water and polish dry with a cotton cloth.

Philosophy
The OAY collection is based on the love of all things. Wabi-sabi (Japanese concept of perception of beauty), earthy and natural. Brass over time forms a beautiful patina that reminds us of the beauty of imperfection and that of aging.

Help! My fingers are turning green.
Both brass and silver are an alloy that contains copper, and that reacts with your pH and moisture. Although it can be a nuisance, it is quite normal.
-Make sure the rings are not too tight on the finger. The tighter the less air can arise in between and moisture.
-Remove your rings while washing your hands. Dry them very well before you put the rings back on.
-Apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to the inside of the rings. A simple cost-effective solution.
