Raw brass (an alloy of pink copper and grey zinc, lead free and nickel free) oxidizes naturally in contact with air and skin. This natural patina creates over time a darker finish with a vintage look. This look is intentional; it is not a manufacturing defect.
To prevent the premature oxidation of your raw brass jewel, keep it in the small hermetic bag in which your jewel will be delivered to you. Also avoid going under the water with your jewel (shower, bathing).
To clean raw brass and restore its original luster, brush it with an old toothbrush and toothpaste. Then rinse, dry well and store in an airtight bag.
It is possible that the skin of some people, due to heat, dampness and skin acidity, reacts to direct and prolonged contact with raw brass, to create a grey-green tint on the skin. This chemical phenomenon is completely normal. To remove oxidation, clean the skin with a cloth and mild soap.
Note that only raw brass oxidizes. Any other antique brass plated components do not tarnish (a brass base with bronze-brown plating), such as some chains, rings, clasps and ear hooks.

► JEWELRY CARE
It is recommended to keep all plated or raw brass jewelry items away from sources of water such as pools, baths, showers, and sweat. This is to maximize the lifespan of the plating. Solid metal jewelry such as stainless steel is safe to wear in the shower, while swimming or while working out.
But in general, avoid contact with perfumes, body oils, and other chemicals. Never use chemical jewelry cleaners on plated jewelry. Store it in a cool dry place.
