BRASS

 

Brass is an alloy of metals, non-ferrous, usually golden in color but can also be silver in color if it has been dyed. This mixture is essentially composedof copper and zinc. It can be polished, brushed or hammered.

Brass jewelry is easily cleaned with natural products such as lemon juice or baking soda or with silverware products. Il exist  also different paws in the shops which are soaked in cleaning products and which allow to eliminate  the oxidation done on the jewel. More powerful but chemical products are also  available in stores specialized or hardware store.

If you use these products or any other product with acidity, however, beware of jewelry set with semi-precious stones!
