Brass

What is Brass?

Brass is a durable metal alloy created by combining copper and zinc. It has a naturally warm, golden tone, making it an excellent base for gold‑plated jewelry. Brass is strong, easy to shape, and holds fine details well, which is why it’s widely used in modern jewelry design.

Most high‑quality brass jewelry is coated with:

  • Gold plating

  • Rose gold plating

  • Rhodium plating

This plating protects the brass underneath, improves shine, and increases wear resistance.

The plating typically lasts 6–24 months, depending on how the jewelry is worn and cared for.

Plating and PVD coatings are not covered under warranty. These finishes are surface layers that naturally wear over time due to contact with skin, moisture, cosmetics, and daily use. This type of wear is expected for all plated jewelry and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

  • Store in a dry place

  • Do not sleep with jewelry on, this might cause the damage to jewelry or to the person wearing the jewelry
