***********CLEANING YOUR BRASS JEWELRY************

If your piece features raw brass charms or findings, it will oxidize with time. On some pieces a worn finish gives it character, while on some pieces, you just want it back to its gold or brass color.

Brass polish like "Brasso" is an excellent way to clean and buff your brass pieces shiny.

Another tried and true way I use to clean the brass pieces is a simple solution of white vinegar and salt. The acid in the vinegar and corrosive effect of the salt cleans tarnished brass with little effort.

For an instant brightness, mix a portion of white vinegar with some salt and dip the raw brass piece for a moment. You will then see an instant change. Completely wash off all traces of vinegar and salt with sudsy warm water, rinse and completely dry.

To polish your piece rub baking soda on the brass with some of the vinegar solution.

You can further seal the brass and retard future tarnishing by buffing the piece with a soft cloth and a graze of olive oil.

***********CUSTOM ORDERS*******************

If you would like some minor adjustments such as length on any of the pieces listed or sold, just let me know and we can work on it if the materials are still available.
