FAQ

Yes, brass is perfectly safe for most skin types—and we only use nickel-free brass, which is gentler on sensitive skin.

Like many natural metals, brass can sometimes leave a faint green mark if your skin is more acidic. But don’t worry—it’s completely harmless, easy to wash off, and a sign that you’re wearing the real thing!

Most of our customers wear our pieces every day with no issues—and they love how the brass warms to their skin over time, creating a beautiful, lived-in glow.

Pro tip: To reduce the chances of hurting your skin, avoid wearing brass jewelry in water or during heavy sweating, and wipe it dry after use.

Most customers experience no irritation. If you're highly sensitive, applying a little clear nail polish to the inside of the piece (for earrings) can act as a gentle barrier.

No! Our jewelry is 100% nickel-free—a must for sensitive skin.

To keep your piece looking great:

• Avoid water or directly spraying perfume on it
• Store is in a dry place, preferable a pouch
• Use a soft cloth to brighten it up whenever necessary
