Brass Jewelry is durable and nonirritating and brass is a beautiful gold color! Brass can oxidize but some people like the look brass has when it oxidizes. If you do not it is easily polished and you can polish it to a bright shine by using common household items like lemon juice or even ketchup! Of course brass jewelry cleaners work as well. I will also include a polishing cloth with all brass orders which works wonderfully and quickly. The best way to store brass jewelry is away from any type of moisture or wet environment such as the bathroom.
