All brass blanks, charms & motifs are brass and manufactured from original vintage patterns by predominantly hand crafted family owned companies in Germany, Czech Republic and France dating back to the early
1900s.  A few of these companies still survive today and manufacture original vintage repro styles.

WHY WE LOVE WORKING WITH BRASS AND YOU WILL ALSO!

• Brass is highly durable
• Brass is polished easily
• Brass is corrosion resistant
• Brass is green: a highly machinable with less scrap, less rework and less
  energy than other materials.
• Brass is lead and nickel free
• Brass has a soft muted honey colouring, which makes it the most complimentary of all metal finishes.

CARE
Brass will naturally darken (called a patina) as it ages.
You may like the antique patina it creates however if you want to bring the piece back to a shiny brass simply:

Boil 1 cup of water, set aside until warm then add a tblsp vinegar and drop of washing up detergent. Combine all ingredients in a jar &  gently shake for 30 seconds. Dry on a paper towel.
It’s that easy!
