Brass

A warm glow with character. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, prized for its golden tone and its ability to take on sculptural forms. Its colour varies from soft yellow to deeper honey shades, depending on the balance of metals — a versatility that designers appreciate for bold, expressive pieces.

Historically used in decorative arts, architecture and instrument-making, brass has long been valued for its durability and its resonance. In contemporary jewellery, it offers creative freedom: light enough for volume, strong enough for everyday wear, and capable of capturing both satin textures and high polish finishes.

A metal that evolves
Brass naturally reacts to air, developing a patina over time. This gentle transformation is often embraced by designers who see it as part of the material’s charm — a living surface that reflects the way the piece is worn. For those who prefer to maintain its original brightness, a quick polish with a soft cloth and a specific brass cleaner will restore its shine.

How to care for it?
Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume or lotions. Store pieces individually to prevent scratches. Clean using mild soapy water or a dedicated brass polish, then dry thoroughly to protect the finish.
