General information brass
This jewelry is made of brass; brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Qualities of brass:
- Brass can oxidate (react with oxygen in the air); this makes that its color becomes a little bit darker. When you rub your darker brass with a cloth the original color reappears.
- Brass can also turn somewhat greenish. The green color is also caused by a certain type of oxidation; that is dependent of the acid-degree of your skin! You can remove the green color by cleaning your brass jewelry with tomato ketchup or lemon juice.
Positive qualities of copper:
- Copper is a natural antibacterial material; it is also essential for your body.
- It is believed that copper can let you experience beauty, love and harmony. They say that it stimulates your feeling for justice; they also claim that copper has a positive influence on close friendships. You can also try to visit your friends more often! ;-)
