Brass in Jewelry: A Hidden Treasure or a Tarnished Secret?

Bold, timeless, and effortlessly glamorous are characteristics that we look for in jewellery. Now there is a metal that can give you the luster of gold and the durability of fine craftsmanship at an affordable price. That metal is brass, the unsung hero of the jewellery world.

Why Brass? Because Drama Deserves Shine!

Brass carries the warmth of gold without the hefty price tag. It is perfect for someone who loves luxury but refuses to break the bank! From intricately carved jhumkas to sleek, modern cuffs, brass allows artisans to create stunning, statement-worthy jewelry that turns heads. Brass isn’t just a metal, it is a mood.

Brass naturally has a golden hue that mimics the opulence of 22k gold. When paired with gemstones, layered up or you let it shine solo, this metal knows how to steal the spotlight.

But Wait… Does Brass Tarnish?

Yes, brass can develop a patina over time. Calling it tarnish would be unfair, rather we should call it character! The ability of brass to evolve is what adds to its beauty. And if you prefer that fresh-out-of-the-box gleam, a little polish (or even a quick rub with lemon juice and baking soda) will have it sparkling like new.

Is Brass Safe for Sensitive Skin?

Have ulta-sensitive skin? Wondering if brass is a villain in disguise? Well, it depends. Brass contains copper and zinc, which can be reactive when it comes in contact with skin, especially if the weather is humid. Usually, very high quality brass jewellery pieces are coated or lacquered to prevent direct contact. In case you want extra protection, you can always apply a little clear nail polish on the inner side of the rings and cuffs.

Brass is Bold. Brass is Beautiful. Brass is YOU.

Jewelry should be expressive, fearless, and fabulous—just like you. Whether you love boho-chic, vintage glam, or modern minimalism, brass lets you experiment without limits. So, next time you’re shopping for that perfect statement piece, give brass a chance—you might just fall in love! Explore the collection at SparklebyDJ to find the piece that suits you best!
