Copper, Brass and Bronze items quickly tarnish and can cause a verdigris reaction with your skin. To polish these items, simply wipe with a jewelry polishing cloth regularly to keep it bright and shiny.

If you experience a verdigris reaction when wearing the item, wash with soap and water to remove the coloration from your skin, and clean the jewelry item with a soft, dry cloth. Verdigris is accelerated by damp, salty skin contact and exposure to harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia). Keeping the item dry and your skin dry will help keep the reaction to a minimum.

Brass is an alloy of copper containing 70% copper, 30% zinc. Polished brass has a look similar to 14 karat gold but it does not have any of the anti-tarnishing properties of gold. Brass will tarnish rapidly depending on exposure to moisture, salts and body chemistry. Please do not buy brass with the expectation that it will wear like gold. Additionally, brass rings are constructed with silver solder. All brass rings will have a seam of silver where the ring was joined. This seam becomes more noticeable as the brass tarnishes.
