Vintage Ear Cuff SILVER

TAKE CARE

For the appreciation of pure materials and for the love of nature, our designs are handmade out of recycled brass, sterling 925 silver or gold. Brass is a nickel free alloy of copper and zinc and has a gorgeous color and very good to combine with real gold. It has been used for centuries as a semi-precious alternative to gold. We adore the beautiful brass original color and combine it with gold.

PROCESS
Every piece will tarnish and age differently as it is exposed to a range of factors. Areas with a higher level of humidity will see a more rapid transformation in comparison to those that are colder and drier. Depending on the pH level of your skin the metals can shine or oxidize. In a few cases the oxidation can leave a mark on your skin, this no harm and you can wash it easily.

Some love the tarnished look and feel, others adore the brass original color. To return your jewel into its original raw brass or silver color you can use fresh lemon, warm water and soap, finish with a polish cloth. All can be used also separately. An alternative is to use silver polish or Brasso.

Take care of your jewels and you can wear them a life time.

Solid gold is handmade on demand in the atelier in The Netherlands. All gold from The Netherlands comes from recycled sources.
