About~ We love brass and bronze for their ability oxidize and form a patina over time. Depending on your skin chemistry, they may turn your skin green. This is harmless but if you wish to avoid this, we suggest avoiding wearing it in very warm environments or purchasing sterling silver or gold instead. The pieces can be plated but this is only temporary and involves harsh chemicals which is why we choose to leave it in its pure form, the way the ancients did. Yellow bronze has a brighter finish and will patina much more slowly than brass.

Care~ We love to leave the patina on our brass and bronze pieces but if you prefer high shine, they can be polished with a jewelry polishing cloth or cleaned with a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda (avoid the latter option on pieces with stones or other non-metal materials).

Gold is naturally durable, but thrives with a little extra care. To preserve its warm glow, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after wear. When not worn, store your pieces separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches. With time and care, your gold jewelry will develop a unique patina—an expression of its journey and your story.
