Caring for your brass
Brass has a beautifully unique colour and texture. In order to get the most out of your new piece, here are some guidelines to help look after your brass jewellery.
To keep your brass jewellery looking its best and maintain its shine, here are a few simple care tips:
Wear It Often for a Natural Shine: The more you wear your brass jewellery, the brighter and shinier it will become. Your skin's natural oils help to keep the metal polished and radiant.
Polishing & Cleaning: Use the included polishing pad to gently clean and maintain your jewellery. For a deeper clean, you can wash your pieces in warm, soapy water. After rinsing them clean, dry them thoroughly, and polish them with the pad to restore their shine.
Keep Jewellery Dry: While it’s perfectly fine for your brass jewellery to get wet occasionally, make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Keeping it dry when not in use will help prevent tarnishing.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Like most metals, brass is sensitive to harsh chemicals, which can cause discolouration. To preserve the beauty of your jewellery, avoid exposing it to perfumes, lotions, or cleaning products.
Proper Storage: When you're not wearing your brass jewellery, store it in its box along with the included tarnish tab. This helps absorb moisture and prevents oxidation.
Will Brass Turn My Skin Green?
Brass jewellery has the potential to cause a temporary green discolouration on your skin, particularly depending on your skin’s natural pH balance. Factors such as health, medications, or even emotional changes can affect this. However, don't worry – if you continue wearing your brass jewellery regularly, your skin will adapt to the metal, and the discolouration should stop over time.
